Season Seven, October 2025, October 15: Who is the King of Glory? - Our Consolation.
Our conundrum? We, as humanity, believe ourselves to be the center of all things, and yet we know how awful we are in our thoughts. We also face what seem like meaningless events in our lives and erratic circumstances we don't understand. Solomon summed it up for us:
"All things are wearisome; Man is not able to tell it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing." Ecclesiastes 1:8
The Bible calls Christians His treasured ones, and such we are, knowing,
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, 20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 6:19-20
We learn as we sojourn through this life, "If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence. 18 If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up. 19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Thy consolations delight my soul." Psalm 94:17-19
We have our personal intimate consolation, even in the person of Jesus the Messiah.
We know thus far in October, our King of Glory is our hope, comfort, the King of all creation. He holds our hands, trains us, and keeps us safe. All those vagaries to us are actually in His control, and He is our personal, intimate consolation.
Our So What?
How might an upcoming conversation with our Creator, Savior, and sustainer go if we meditate on all His consolations? What a glorious conversation that is!
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen
1 Timothy 1:17
Brethren, let's pray for one another.
