Crushed tonight as I absorb the painful reality of the hate fueled killings in Overland Park. Trusting with full confidence that one day all evil will cease . Trying to meditate on the prayer I read in worship today by Scotty Smith : On this Palm Sunday morning, I’m overwhelmed with your humility, your sovereignty, and your generosity. What other king could conquer warhorses and warriors by riding the foal of a donkey? What other king could break the battle bow and the backbone of all warfare by the brokenness of the cross? What other king could ever replace all politics of tyranny and power with a dominion and reign of peace, everywhere and forever? Only you, Lord Jesus, only you. What other king would offer his life and death for the redemption and restoration of rebels, fools, and idolaters like us? What other king could possibly make prisoners of sin, death, and “waterless pits” into prisoners of hope? Only you, Lord Jesus, only you. There is no other such king. Who is the King of Glory? It is you, Lord Jesus, and only you. Who is the King of Grace? It is you, Lord Jesus, and only you. Who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords? It is you, Lord Jesus, and only you. May your cross and your crown continue to free us from all other imprisonments so that we may live as prisoners of hope and agents of redemption, until the Day you return to finish making all things new. May that Day be soon. May that blessed Day be real soon. So very Amen we pray, in your peerless and priceless name.
