Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our
God: and we shall reign on the earth.
We came across this interesting story, written by Steve Brown of
Key Biscayne Florida.
In the eleventh century, King Henry III of Bavaria grew tired of
court life and the pressures of being a monarch. He made application to
Prior Richard at a local monastery, asking to be accepted as a
contemplative and spend the rest of his life in the monastery. "Your
Majesty," said Prior Richard, "do you understand that the pledge here is
one of obedience? That will be hard because you have been a king." "I
understand," said Henry. "The rest of my life I will be obedient to you, as
Christ leads you." "Then I will tell you what to do," said Prior Richard.
"Go back to your throne and serve faithfully in the place where God has put
you." When King Henry died, a statement was written: "The King learned to
rule by being obedient."
We are kings and priests! Furthermore, the Bible says that one day
we will rule with Him! We need to get ourselves ready!
Are
you weary of parenting,
ministering, praying or whatever other assignments the Lord has given you
for this season of your life? Please, be encouraged! God expects us to be
faithful where he puts us, even in the small things. Stay strong in the
Lord! God is preparing us for great things — and our efforts for Him will
not go unnoticed! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
