King of Anything...

No, I am not talking about that Sara Bareilles song here, I am talking about real life, important stuff...that you need to know!
As I have been observing myself and other people around me.  The one thing that I seem to always notice is the king in their life.  My definition to king would be something along the lines of anything that either controls you, consumes you, takes up a lot of time either in a good way or bad, makes you subject to change, basically whatever is the "ruler of your life".
What is the "king" in your life?  Is it video games? Computer games? Facebook? T.V.? Cell phones?  Homework?
What is something that takes up most of your time in a bad way?  Most importantly is the king in your life taking over what the real King should be? Are you missing out on family time because of the things of this world have you so trapped? Are you letting video games, or facebook take up your time so that when it is time to go to bed you quick say a prayer and tell God that you will read two chapters in the Bible tomorrow because you feel guilty.. if so, you need to rethink the "king" in your life.  If your "king" is not Jesus Christ, make it that.  He is a jealous God.  Do not let facebook, or television shows, or even the internet in general take up precious, precious time that you will never get back.  Limit your time, and make sure things are equally adding up.  If facebook hears more from you then your God then I think it is time you re-evaluate where your time goes.
Now for me the "king" in my life is not always God.  I am not perfect and a lot of the times I'll cram my day with so much stuff so that at the end of the day I'll be able to just relax and read my bible and spend time with God, but what actually happens is that I am so tired from doing everything that day, that the last thing I want to do is read my bible.  So just take time out of your day and spend it with the most High, will you?  The only real King in your life should be Jesus.  After all He deserves every bit of our short life on this Earth, because He is the one who gave it to us.  

Destory the old "king", invite Jesus to be your new King,
Kelsey
