DETERMINED

Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 10-14

"These are the leaders of David's mighty men. Together with all Israel, they determined to make David their king, just as the Lord had promised concerning Israel." 1 Chronicles 11:10 NLT

God ordained David as king over Israel, but it took David's men and the children of God determining in their hearts that he was their king.

It makes me think of God being the king of our hearts and lives.

It can be said...

It can be decreed...

It can be ordered...

It can be requested...

But it takes a determination to make it personal.

It requires a marked decision.

It takes effort to keep Him in the throne room of our hearts and minds.

It means never allowing anyone or anything else to take His rightful place.

Are you that determined?
