Thursday Thought -- December 26, 2013

Good Morning Friends,

“As I looked, ‘thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.) In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.’” (Daniel 7:9-14)

No king can compare with the King we serve! No kingdom can compare to the Kingdom of which we are a part!

The King we serve is the Ancient of Days. You don’t have to be a scholar to get the drift of what that title implies. He’s the One who has been around a long time. In fact, He’s been around forever -- and will be around forever still. Earthly kings have come and gone, but He’s the one King who will always be in power.

The King we serve has power that is matchless and cannot be defeated. His power flows from Him as though it is unquenchable fire. Nothing can stand in its way.

When we serve our King, we are not alone. Sometimes it seems as though the church is so small in this world and this time. It’s not! Millions upon millions serve the King, even in these latter days of wickedness. Through the generations of man, the number of those who have served Him cannot be counted. We are part of a vast army of the servants of the King.

Kings come and kings go. Kingdoms come and kingdoms go. But there is one King and one Kingdom that will always be there -- even forever. That is the King worth serving. That is the Kingdom worth being a part of.

His, by Grace,


Steve
