There is a King of your heart Who not only desires you, but He desires to be in the trenches with you, in your mess with you, in your victories with you and down there in the deepest, secret thought with you. Jesus is, indeed, the solid rock on which we can stake everything. Is there a better King? No way!
If Jesus is truly the King of our heart then we should let Him rule. He’s got the best way of conducting business, responding to situations and people, dealing with our emotions…and on and on. Isaiah 55: 8 & 9 He tells us, “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” Let’s put our trust completely in Him, taking all of our cues from this kindest of kings.
Yes, we definitely need community, but the ultimate "go to" for us can be / should be Jesus. He’s the only one who will never leave us or loosen His grip on our lives. (Hebrews 13:5) He’s not immature, unhealthy or acting out of a victim mentality so we can trust that He will see our hearts rightly. He’s our oasis. (Matthew 11:28) He’s got the answers we need. (Colossians 2:3) And like a certain song lyric says, “What kind of King tells you He loves you?”
Friends, Jesus has been through the worst that other humans can do to someone. He was severely misunderstood, misrepresented in the most vile way, made fun of and tortured beyond description. He did this to save us. He is absolutely the best one to help us out in trials.
Praise Jesus! He has committed to be our King, brother and friend, through thick and thin!
LOVE,
Todd
