Everything Royal....

Everything Royal....

With a imminent British Royal wedding, it seems like there is a frenzy on everything Royal....from ads about hand creams made of Royal jelly to how to dress like a Royal...many movies are about royalty, talk show themes, news shows, newspaper ads, library stories...royalty, royalty, royalty everywhere...kings, queens, princes, princess'...the whose who of guests, non guests, maybe guests....and on and on....

Growing up with Prince Charles, (we are the same age)... We lived, of course in different countries and cultures...and one of my daughters reminded me that she grew up with Prince William ...funny how we associate with the royals, continents and lifestyles away...

I am reading about King David in the Bible as well, both in the Psalms, Chronicles, and Samuel... His struggles, triumphs, his humility, his always coming back to the King of Kings, the great I Am, the Creator of All...the Comfortor, the real Royalty...the one to Whom all will bow...Jesus, who came as a tiny baby, was sought out by shepherds, wisemen and kings...sung about by angels...came as a servant, died as a criminal...but defied death and was resurrected, ascended to the right hand of God, the Father...

The true royals,  God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit...these are the ones that count for eternity...we are given Royal robes of righteousness, crowned, given eternal life, a heavenly home, sealed for our belief and faith in them...this is the royalty that counts...for everything...
Thank YOU...

The nations will fear the name of the Lord, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
So the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the Lord.
Psalm 102:15,21-22

“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
The king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery. ”
Daniel 2:44,47

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time —God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
1 Timothy 6:11-16
