When There Is No King

"In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in His own eyes." (Judges 17:6)

Tomorrow, my ladies group is studying the kingship of Jesus. 

In the Old Testament, God promised King David that his heir would sit on the throne forever. In the New Testament, David's royal heir is revealed: Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Ephesians 1:20-22 tells us that God seated Jesus at His right hand in heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And God put all things in subjection under Christ's feet.

Revelation 19:16 reveals that the name written on Jesus' robe and thigh: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Philippians 2:10-11 foretells that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

In the book of Judges, we are reminded that the lack of a king leads to decline and devastation.  

Beloved, in your day-to-day life: your marriage, your kids, your checkbook, your relationships, your social media, your time, your career, your fun, your body, your soul (mind, will and emotions), your spirit, is King Jesus on the throne?
