From Worthy News Devotionals:
Revelation 1:5-6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made
us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for
ever 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!
"My friends, 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."
