December 13
Now that Israel had a homeland, they wanted a king… just like all the other countries. God wasn’t too happy about his chosen people wanting to be like everyone else, but they whined and asked and whined some more, so God chose a king for them. He picked a man named Saul, a strong tall man who looked every bit the king. But Saul turned out to be an arrogant disaster of a leader, more concerned with his own power than with God's.
Only one king could ever satisfy the longings of God’s people. He'd wear a crown of thorns. And he wouldn’t be born for hundreds of years.
Today’s Ornament – The Crown
Today’s Bible Verse – Revelation 19:16
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
