Joy #28: Stop & Ponder

Though we do not live under the rule of a king, our world is full of rulers. What modern examples do we see in our society of people rejoicing over the destruction of enemies and the fruit of good leaders?

After thinking on these passages (#25, #26), how do you see Gods' use of human history to tell the story of the coming King?

Though we do not see the full expression of His reign here on the earth now, He is still reigning sovereign over all the rulers of the earth. How can our joy over His rule now set our hearts at ease of the fears of this world?

Can you see it? All the wickedness of the earth destroyed. One benevolent, wise, and sovereign King rules over the world. No fear, war, destruction, poverty... You are standing before this King. What are you doing? What do you want to say to Him now?
