Every once in a while, a song will hit me just between the eyes. The other day I was listening to to a song that I had recently purchased on iTunes, and, while I had listened to the song before, as I stopped to reflect on the words, I actually heard what this song was trying to say. The song is called “king of the world” my Natalie Grant. Please read the words:
"King Of The World"
I tried to fit you in the walls inside my mind
I try to keep you safely in between the lines
I try to put you in the box that I've designed
I try to pull you down so we are eye to eye
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world
Just a whisper of your voice can tame the seas
So who am I to try to take the lead
Still I run ahead and think I'm strong enough
When you're the one who made me from the dust
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world
Ohhhh, you set it all in motion
Every single moment
You brought it all to be
And you're holding on to me
When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
How could I make you so small
When you're the one who holds it all
When did I forget you've always been the king of the world
You will always be the king of the world.
Such a powerful song.
I admit, most of the time I forget that God is in control of everything. Read these words from Paul:
“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
16 for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
18 Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first in everything.
19 For God in all his fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
20 and through him God reconciled
everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.” (Col. 1:15-20)
What I need to remember is that Jesus is running the Show. He controls all things.. all things hold together because of Jesus.
yes, the world is in shambles right now, but it would be more so if Jesus would withdraw His hand from the world.
So, today, when you feel like you are in over your head— which for me is most of the time, TBH, let’s remember that God is in control; God is the King of the world, and God has not left or abandoned us!
