In my last post, I stated that it had been a while. Guess what...it has been a while since my last post once again. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe it is continued fatigue from the accident. Maybe it is another battle with the ever-recurrent Epstein-Barr Virus. Or, maybe it is simply the winter weather making me feel sluggish and getting the best of me. Whatever the case, it HAS definitely been a while and I hope that this once per month posting doesn't continue indefinitely. In any case, I am here and I have a thought to share. I have recently been pondering the lyrics from the song, King of Anything. The lyrics state: Who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything? You sound so innocent, all full of good intent, swear you know best. But you expect me to jump up on board with you and ride off into your delusional sunset. I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction,
but you’ll never see. These words ring in my head and remind me of many Old Socks and I have encountered along our journeys. Have you ever encountered someone who thinks someone died and made them king/queen of EVERYTHING? Oh, be honest, you KNOW you have. We all have. Sadly, people want to make others think they know what is best and expect us to jump on board with them. While they may sound as if they mean well, if we look closely, we will often find that the only thing they want is, just as the lyrics above read, us to be a part of their delusion. They are the ones lost with no direction, but they will never see. Often, these people find their ways into churches and into positions of leadership. They want to tell everyone what should be and needs to be for everyone to 'be in God's will.' However, when their directions are scrutinized in light of God's written Word, we find that their 'good intentions' are really all about their own desires. Don't get me wrong, I am not here to cast a stone. I am simply stating that I have found that many people we have encountered, many of them who claim Christ as their savior, are more about what they want, which has absolutely NO Biblical backing. It is our desire to seek first Him and His kingdom and to do what is pleasing to Him. Do we always hit the mark? Absolutely not. However, we keep striving in that direction. May I encourage you tonight to think about your motives and the motives of those around you. May we all remember that no one died and made us the king/queen of anything. However, One did die who IS the King of EVERYTHING and He wants to be your King. Until next time, ride safely.
