Listen to the Word
The LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. (Psalm 47:2)

The Bible describes God as the great King over all the earth. He has all power, and he is in command. He is the Ruler of the universe. He is sovereign over history. He reigns over the weather that is heading your way. He is the true king of the jungle, ruling over every fish that swims, every bird that flies, and every creature that creeps.

About the only place his kingship gets called into question is in our lives. Sometimes we still try to rule there. We want to call our own shots. God patiently waits for us to recognize that we are much better off when we give up our little coup attempt and let him return to the throne.

God is the great King. He rules over everything. Does he rule over you?

Live the Word
Each time you talk to God today, address him as “King.” Let that understanding of his identity shape your prayers.
