Who wants to be king???

When I was a kid, my favorite fast food restaurant to eat at was Burger King. Not because they had the best burgers because a place in town called Pinocchio's did. Nor was it because of their fries...we all know McDonald's has the best fries. The reason I loved going to Burger King was because if you got a Kids Meal, they would give you a Free Burger King Crown. I would walk around wearing that crown like I was King of the world. I even tried to get my parents to call me "your highness" but that didn't go over too well.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we all desire to rule and be King of some area in our lives.
I spent the week in Elko, Nevada at an AMAZING Christian Camp in the mountains called "Cowboy's Rest," teaching students through the book of 2 Samuel. I taught on the second half of King David’s life, where everyone around him attempted to become King in his place... His generals, his enemies and even his family.

The question of the week was "Who wants to be King?" The answer is we all do at some point in our lives. Just as David (a man after God's own heart), surrendered his kingdom to God, we must also allow God to rule our lives. Not just in some areas but in all areas.

1 Peter 3:15 says, "Sanctify Christ as Lord (King) in your hearts"
