Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Heavenly Father the world today seems in many ways to be as Adonijah exalting ourselves against Your will. Interestingly his name means "the Lord is my Lord". Jesus taught us to pray "Your kingdom come Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,". Yet we declare ourselves rulers and kings over our lives and others, preparing and collecting around us those who will enable us to continue propping up the lies we are in control and the masters of our destinies. Forgive us Lord for not inviting in wise council, like pastors, prophets and mighty ones who belong to You to help us navigate and keep from falling off the narrow road. Our vain sacrifices are an abomination to You, only the offering of Christ blood that is without spot or blemish could purge our conscience from these dead works. Jesus You are King of kings and Lord of lord and in humble adoration I bow before You in full surrender and thanksgiving of Your atoning sacrifice. For this is Your will Father, that everyone who looks on Your Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life and You will raise us up on the last day. Let us show compassion to each other as You have shown compassion on those who fear You. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child and thought as a child, but when I became an adult, I put away childish, selfish, prideful ways, as my desire is to bring glory to You always. I love You Lord. Amen.
