He Is Series - King of Kings - When Life Feels Out of Control, Remember Who Is in Charge

Revelation 19:16 “On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, ‘King of kings and Lord of lords.”

We end our series with a powerful name for the Lord. He is King of kings. There is no king greater than the Lord. He is above all. This is important for us to remember, especially in times of trouble, because we might be tempted to think other things are greater than God. For instance, if we are in chronic pain, we might start to believe that our pain is greater than God. We might believe He can heal some things, but not chronic illnesses, like Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer, and things like that. The world tells us there are no cures for those diseases, so we think the same applies to God, too.

Nothing is too big or too complicated for God to handle. He is the King of kings. We might also think that our financial issues are too much for God to handle. We know we have bills to pay, we know we don’t have enough money to pay them, and we don’t see a way that God can help. God doesn’t need a way; He is the King of kings, and He can make a way.

My friend once told me a story about how she was sitting in the Dollar Tree parking lot before the store opened, making her grocery list for the week. She had three kids at the time. Her daughter was in the car with her. She was writing down everything she needed, and she realized she was $50 short of having it all. She said a quick prayer to the Lord, letting Him know that if she just had $50 more, she would be able to feed her kids for the whole week. I am not sure if she expected God to do anything. I am not sure whether she was even asking Him to do anything, or just talking to God about how hard things were right now. All I know is that her daughter saw something fly past the window, and before my friend could say anything, she jumped out of the car to chase it. Luckily, the parking lot was empty because the store wasn’t open yet. When her daughter got back in the car and showed her mom what she had been chasing, it turned out to be a $50 bill.

Can you even imagine that happening? I am sure my friend couldn’t have imagined God would just create a bill out of nowhere and have it fly by her window just when she needed it most. There isn’t anything our Lord can’t do. Another friend was leading a youth group one week, and just as they were about to leave, she realized she had lost her keys. She couldn’t drive home without them, and she didn’t have a backup set. The kids looked everywhere, in all the rooms, on all the services, and they couldn’t find them anywhere.

Then, one of the kids remembered that there is a patron saint of lost keys. Her name is Saint Zita. So all the kids and my friend asked St. Zita to intercede on their behalf. While they were all standing together praying, they heard a noise in the other room. They heard a set of keys fall down onto the metal counter. They had checked this counter before, and her keys were not there. Now, out of nowhere, the keys were on the counter. I don’t know where she lost these keys, but I do know that God put them on the counter for her so she could get home that night. And probably also to build the faith of all those kids who see this amazing display of God’s power.

God is bigger than our problems. I know it doesn’t always seem that way. I know sometimes we feel like we are drowning in our problems. Drowning in debt, illness, anger, frustration, and anything else that feels overwhelming in our lives. God is right there with us. He will not let us drown. Just as He did not let Peter drown when he stepped out of the boat to walk on the water. He took his eyes off Jesus and began to sink. Jesus reached out His hand and took Peter’s hand before he could sink. He will do the same for you.

When we have our eyes on Jesus, we know He is the King of Kings. When we read the Bible and surround ourselves with His Word, it is easier to remember that. Once we take our eyes off Him. Once we start to look around us and read what the world has to say, we start to doubt. If we listen to the doctors, they will tell us that certain things can’t be cured. I am not saying we shouldn’t listen to doctors. Doctors are very important and save many lives. What I am saying is that we should listen to the doctor regarding the diagnosis and leave the prognosis up to God. Only God knows when our time in this world will be over, and I have seen miracles where people have had stage 4 cancer, the doctors said there was nothing else they could do, and yet, they are now living their lives cancer-free.

I feel that someone really needs to hear this today. There is no disease that God can’t cure. No diagnosis is too big for God to handle. There is no legal or financial issue too big for God. God can heal a broken vertebra; He can heal your diabetes, or your mental illness, or your chronic illness. Whatever it is you are facing today, keep your eyes fixed on the Lord, and know that He is the King of Kings and can heal you, help you, and save you. Just call upon Him, and He will come.

Over these past 31 episodes, we’ve been discovering who God is—His names, His heart, and how He meets us right where we are. We’ve seen that He is our provider, our healer, our peace, our strength, and so much more. And today, as we remember that He is the King of Kings, we are reminded that He is over it all—every struggle, every question, every part of our lives.

Whatever you’re walking through right now, you are not alone. The same God we’ve been learning about throughout this series is with you, for you, and working in your life. So keep coming back to Him. Keep seeking Him. Because the more you know who He is, the more you’ll begin to see who you are in Him.

Dear King of Kings, please bless each person listening to this episode. Lord, we love you and are so grateful that you are all-powerful. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. There is nothing you can’t handle. There is nothing too big for you. Please help us to believe this, Lord. Please help us to always look to you instead of those around us. Please help us to trust that you can help us, even if we don’t see a way. We love you, and we ask this in accordance with your will and in Jesus’s holy name, Amen!
