Are YOU Humble?

He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh:

 “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

~Revelation 19:16

 

George had it made! After all, he was the ruler of the greatest kingdom on Earth.  With a raising of an eyebrow, he could make or break your fortune.  With the simple gesture of a finger, he could erase your family line from history.  What George wanted, George got!  Simple! 

 

That same mentality has carried over from George's day into ours.  And on so many smaller scales.  

 

But something happened to George that I have not witnessed in my years on this earth.  George the Second, King of England and all her Empires, humbled himself!  Of his OWN accord, he humbled himself, recognizing that there was a King mightier than himself.  You see, on March 23, 1743, George II sat in the Royal Box at the theatre to hear "The Messiah" which had been written by George Frideric Handel.  Throughout the performance, George the Second was intrigued and listened intently.

 

And when the Hallelujah Chorus reached the words: "The kingdom of this world..." King George II of England and her Empire did something NO OTHER monarch had done before...He stood with head bowed throughout the remainder of the song, acknowledging that God's Kingdom was MUCH mightier than any he could control!  In humble recognition this monarch stood in submission to God!

 

How many people of power do you think would do that now?  Look around!  We hear lip service to God quite frequently when it suits.  But how many leaders will actually humble themselves before God?  How many are truly grateful to God for the position they hold?  How many PEOPLE are willing to humble themselves before God and acknowledge that without Him, they would not exist?  

 

Sadly, very few and they are growing more and more scarce every single day!  What about YOU?  Is God your King of Kings and Lord of Lords?  Or do you put your trust in someone else?
