This particular song says that we are willing to give Jesus Lordship and Kingship of our lives. But are we really?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is Jesus the King of my schedule? My television viewing options? My money? My attitude? My thoughts?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is Jesus the Lord of my comings and goings? My free time? My purchases? My words? My actions? My eating habits?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You know you can ask yourself these same questions. If the answer is yes to some, but not all, then there is work to be done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I want Jesus to be the Lord and King over every aspect of my life, but I find that I am weak. I find that I am lazy. I find that I don\u2019t want to make the effort. So I cave and find myself in the same place I\u2019ve always been. Me being the lord and king of my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So today, if you\u2019re like me, you need to offer your life to Jesus yet again and ask Him to be the Lord and King over every aspect of your life. It\u2019s easy to talk the talk, but so rewarding when we walk the walk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the lyrics to this song and see if it might make a difference in your life today.
