My King – Lectio Divina

November 24, 2013 By Jean Wise


This is the King of the Jews.

Luke 23: 38b


King of the Jews

Lord you are the King.
I cast aside my ingrained independent American point of view to bow down before you.
Sovereign King of all. You are my all.

A King to be obeyed.
I am to stay silent, listening to you and only you.
A King to follow.
I match my steps to yours.
A servant King – healing, helping, honoring the lowly and unloved.
As your servant, I am to mirror your ways.
A King who pardons.
I bring my sinful heart to you asking for forgiveness
A King who loves.
May I love as you love.
You are my King.
 My Ruler.
My Master.
My Lord.

    Great song, Ceil! Hard to believe it is Advent time, isn’t it? May you have a wonderful thanksgiving!

    I love the way you prayed through the attributes of God our King. And to think we’re his children– what an indescribable privilege!

    Hi Jean! I read your post, and the song “You are my King” started up in my mind.
    Today marks the end of the year cycle, with the celebration of Christ our King! Next week we start again with Advent.
    I think the challenge for me is to really accept that I have a King. It’s not all about me, but about being a kingdom dweller.
    Blessings to you on this great feast 🙂
