That's My King

God has answered so many prayers this week, it is unbelievable. Actually, very believable considering He has ALWAYS answered prayers. This time, He answered prayers that I hadn't even prayed yet. Uh, cool!

To the point, Jesus is a God who reigns. He is one who reigns sovereignly. I cannot believe anything except this, especially on days like today. My God, the God of Abraham, the God of David, the God of Peter and Paul, LISTENS and plans before I ever do.

This past week has been one where my inadequacies are ever before me, but God's sufficient grace is too. He has been showing me the power of relying on Him and finding my sufficiency in Him. I realized that when becoming a better leader, you learn about all of your failures. In the end, it is a miracle everything isn't a train wreck! Alas, we have this sovereign God who wants His kingdom to come. He wants His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, and he will usurp you to get it done. Don't fall into the trap and lie that YOU made it all happen. I am keenly aware today that any successes are not due to my awesome skills, but to God's sovereign power.

Do you lead like this? Do you lead your ministry with the fact that you have a sovereign God managing it all? I know many times I don't. BUT, I also know that God will finish what He starts. And God started this good work inside of me, and inside of you. He will finish it! He will sanctify you! And He will be glorified!

Because He loves you, and He loves His people and He loves His glory. He will get glory, despite your failures. He will get glory, despite your success. He will get glory despite humanity. Amen!
