Friday, July 18: The Exalted King

Day 5: The Exalted King

Reading: Psalm 46:8-9, Philippians 2:9-11

Psalm 46 concludes with a vision of God exalted among the nations, echoing the New Testament's proclamation of Jesus as the exalted King. This reminder of God's ultimate victory puts our current struggles into perspective. How does focusing on Christ's lordship change your outlook on your problems? Today, intentionally "exalt" God in your life by praising Him and surrendering your will to His. Remember that one day every knee will bow to Jesus – choose to honor Him as King now in how you live. Let this eternal perspective inspire you to live boldly for His kingdom, knowing that His purposes will ultimately prevail.
