Discussion ideas
- Looking to the Lord as our King is a life-long process of learning His truths, trying to obey them, and wanting to do the Lord’s will.
- If we choose to make the Lord King in our lives, we will find ourselves blessed both in this world and to eternity.
- From a talk by Norbert Rogers:
- Each time we want to do the Lord’s will we are acknowledging that we want Him to be our King and to rule over our lives.
- We acknowledge the Lord as our King whenever we go to His Word to learn His truth, whenever we let that truth direct our thinking, whenever we want to do what the truth from the Word teaches, and whenever we actually obey that truth in our life.
