Praise His Name: KING
\n…Behold, your King is coming to you, He is just and having salvation Zechariah<\/em>\u00a09:9 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\nGod is King of all kings.\u00a0 He is the chief authority over all of heaven and earth. He is in control of all things.
\nSome of His names in scripture are King Eternal, King of Glory, King of Jews, King of kings, and King of Saints.
\nToday let’s pause to praise Him for being King and rejoice that we, as His children, will one day join Him in His heavenly kingdom forever and ever!<\/p>\n

All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.<\/em>\u00a0 1 Timothy 1:17 [NKJV]<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:
\nDear God, I pause to praise You today as King. The One who is in control of all things.
\nI rejoice that I will someday join You in Your heavenly kingdom, but I also rejoice that right now, here on earth, as Your child, I can claim all the heavenly benefits and walk in Your spiritual blessings each day!
\nAll glory, thanks and praise go to You my King! The One who is King of kings and Lord of lords! Amen and Amen!<\/p>\n
