“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!” Revelation 5: 13
“And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24: 15
The 2024 political campaigns are nearly complete and the national and many local and state elections are but hours away. Republicans and Democrats have had their say, leaving the public to determine which one has the answers to questions, concerns and uncertainty facing our nation, and the path forward through our own individual struggles.
While uncertainty, disbelief, anxiety, doubt, and fear begin to reign instead. Which one to choose to kneel before, bow to, and embrace. In which one to put our faith and trust either, or any.
As we turn to look and wonder whether there are any other choices. How about this One?
The One to whom the Apostle John refers in Revelation that “every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: ‘Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
The One to whom the Apostle Paul points to in Philippians as to whom “every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
The One Joshua reaffirms at the end of his life that “…as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” That choice. That One. The Lord God Almighty. At the end of all the ages, these kings will all bow down.
Presidents and royalty, faces to the ground. There will be no doubt that Jesus Christ is Lord. And I’ll be there to see Him, seated on His throne. There will be a holy roar, as the saints sing to their Lord.
Answers. Faith. Trust. Peace. Direction. Hope. Eternal assurance.
The one choice for all things, now and forever—The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings.
Jesus is the one choice.
