Revelation 1:5-6 (ESV)
5 And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the
firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and
has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his
God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
One day a passerby saw a homeless man on the roadside. He
stopped for a moment to hand him some loose change and casually said "God
bless you, my friend".
"I thank God," said the homeless man, "I
am never unhappy."
"What do you mean?" the passerby asked.
"Well," he said, "when the sun is out, I
thank God -- when it rains, I thank God. When I am full, I thank God and when I
am hungry, I thank God. And, since God's will is my will, and whatever pleases
Him pleases me, why should I say I am unhappy when I am not?"
The man looked at him in astonishment and asked,
"Who are you?"
"I am a King," said he.
"Where, then, is your Kingdom?" asked the man.
"In my heart." The homeless man replied.
Yes, we can have nothing, yet have it all. So often, we
focus on what we have and forget who we are! The two are not related at all --
what we have (or don't have) has nothing to do with who we are! The Word says
that we are kings and priests and so it is!
Let's give all our concerns to the Lord and see ourselves
as He does -- Kings and Priests! Thank God in every circumstance and there, we
will find our victory.
Dear Lord, help u snot focus on the things that we have
or don’t have but instead on who You made us. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
