Revelation 5:10 (NIV)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
As I read this I thought - I am a kingdom! I have the King sitting on the throne of my life and I am governed by Him. The next thought that came in was that if that was true that I could not be self determined or self willed. It went something like, “well that is the end of my…” If I have been made a kingdom then the rule of the king is enforced. This is elementary but stunning when you consider the implications.
Then as I read it again, I realized it could be taken in the plural as well. We (them) have been made into a kingdom. That of course means that collectively we will be ruled by the king and not any person. God is our King! Will we be ruled by Him who sits on the throne? Forget about coming into a new year, how about today? How about tomorrow? Again, this is elementary, but today it is hitting me with a --- “will you”?
I will.
