I want to be thekindofwife that loves my husband well!  I want to bring him good,  be his partner in life, and lay my life down for him.   But today I was reminded:  I don’t just do this for my man alone;  I also do this for my King!

What if your marriage is for the King?

Do you remember the day you realized and declared that Jesus is Lord, and you made Him YOUR Lord?  Did you, like I did, gladly and joyfully surrender your whole life to this wonderful King?

Who IS this King of glory?  Jesus is the King that every heart longs for:  strong and mighty, faithful and true, loving and kind, all-powerful, and completely good.

“Then I saw heaven opened, and suddenly a white horse appeared.  The name of the one riding it was Faithful and True, (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady), and with pure righteousness he judges and rides to battle.  He wore many regal crowns, and his eyes were flashing like flames of fire… his name is called the Word of God.”  Revelation 19: 11-13 TPT     

In a world where we long for kings and presidents to rule with integrity and rightness,  how wonderful to remember that we live in a bigger Kingdom where our King is incorruptible = not corrupt,  unable to be corrupted!

“Following him on white horses were the armies of heaven, wearing white fine linen, pure and bright.  A sharp sword came from his mouth (His word) with which to conquer the nations, and he will shepherd them with an iron scepter. . . On his robe and on his thigh he had inscribed a name:  King of kings and Lord of lords.” Rev. 19: 14, 16

Who wouldn’t want a King like Jesus?

“O King of kings, they will all bow before you.  O King of kings, every nation will one day serve you.  He will care for the needy and neglected when they cry to him for help.  The humble and helpless will know his kindness, for with a father’s compassion he will save their souls.  They will be rescued from tyranny and torture, for their lifeblood is precious in his eyes.  Long live this King!

May there be ceaseless praise and prayer to him.  May all the blessing be brought to him.  Bless us with a bountiful harvest, with golden grain swaying on the mountain fields!  May the cities be full of praising people, fruitful and filled – So that his name may be honored forever!  May the fame of his name spring forth!  May it shine on, like the sunshine!  In him all will be blessed to bless others, and may all the people bless the One who blessed them…..   Faithful is our King!   Amen!”   Psalm 72: 11-17, 19 TPT

Today, we simply bless you to remember the One who has blessed you;  the One who is alone deserving of ALL blessing and honor.   May our marriages and families be faithful and fruitful and multiply the King’s rule and reign wherever we go.   May we love and serve as he has loved and served us.   May we rule and reign with him, bringing righteousness and justice where there is evil and selfishness, beginning with our own hearts, our own marriages, and our own homes.   May the King be honored and blessed by the way we honor and bless each other, even as our King Jesus has said, “This is my commandment:  that you love one another as I have loved you.”

For the King!  And His Kingdom!
