Majestic Jesus,
I come into Your Presence seeking rest and refreshment, Spending focused time with You strengthens and encourages me. Lord, I marvel at the wonder of communing with You-the Creator of the universe–while sitting in the comfort of my home.
Kings who reign on earth tend to make themselves inaccessible.
Ordinary people almost never gain an audience with them. Even dignitaries must plow through red tape and protocol in order to speak with royalty. I rejoice that You are totally accessible to me- -even though You are King of this vast, awesome universe.
Please help me remember that You are with me at all times and in all circumstances. Nothing can separate me from Your loving Presence! When You cried out from the cross, “It is finished!” the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. This opened the way for me to meet You face to Face, with no need of protocol or priests. How breathtaking it is that You, the King of kings, are my constant Companion!
In Your kingly Name, Amen.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”
