Do Not Return to Your Little Kingdom

We often want God’s kingdom while still protecting our own little kingdoms. We want comfort, control, recognition, and our own way. But Christ calls us out of self-rule and into joyful surrender. The gospel frees us from the exhausting work of building a life around ourselves. Jesus is a better King than we could ever be. Under His rule, we lose our false kingdoms and receive life that cannot be taken away. Lord, rescue me from self-rule. Teach me to seek first Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, amen.
