We profess with our mouth’s that Christ is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and Prince of Peace. What we don’t or refuse to recognize is how truly important those names are. He is sovereign over all things, people, relationships, and situations. God knows everything, but how often do we reject his true council and sovereignty in our lives?
I went to my parents’ church here in Knoxville today and Pastor Riley was speaking of a childhood game he used to play: King of the Hill. I think that he was right that we all still unconsciously play king of the hill in our families, jobs and relationships. The question is, who is the king of your hill? Are you vying for a better position at work, trying to dominate in you home, or simply trying to keep ahead of the Joneses?
We get so caught up in the “American Dream,” which insists on our upward mobility, that we forget the true source of success in our lives: Christ. When will we recognize Christ’s awe inspiring Lordship in our lives and give him complete control of our hill? I don’t see a better candidate than an omniscient and merciful God to guide us in the right path and be our King of the hill.
