Ruler

His rule will stretch from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. ~ Zechariah 9:10 (CEB)

God made his name greater than every other name so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus — everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. ~ Philippians 2:9b–10 (NCV)
Lord Jesus, you deserve all honor and praise. Every single person in the world should, and eventually will, acknowledge you as the King of kings and Lord of lords. It's going to happen. And it should start with me right now. Frankly, I'm as slow as everyone else to recognize you as the supreme being. But I am not happy with my slowness. I'm going to let you set the agenda for my life. I live for you -- today and everyday. You are the one who sacrificed so much for us. There can't possibly be anyone greater than you. Might your kingdom come and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Amen.
