1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all.
Presidents, kings, prime ministers, or other officials can get the idea that they are something special. They may watch as their minions bow and scrape in their presence, but when their eyes close in death, they will discover who really is the Head over all!
We may be critical of those in leadership positions, but what about us who were not born into aristocracy or have never been elected to some prestigious office? What about those of us who have not attained a title after our name and been treated with respect because of it?
Here it comes! We can be just as guilty as the titled office holders. We may be king or queen of a particular area. Someone may feel in charge of the kitchen. Another person controls the family car. At work someone may dominate the scene like a little Caesar. I think you get the picture.
Back in the Old Testament book of 1 Chronicles, we discover that King David in his last days gave us a reality check on where we are to direct our praise. The God who created all things is deserving of our honor, glory, and adoration. He is to be exalted as the head over everything. How do you measure up?
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
