A thought came to me today as I started reading the book of Daniel. While I obviously had many thoughts when reading the first five books of Daniel, one thing really stuck out to me--who is your king (Hopefully you saw this coming...considering the picture and all)? You see, a king is someone who leads a body of people--a population, kingdom. He decides within his own kingdom, who lives and who dies, who he helps and who lets suffer. He is the leader of and controller. 

The question: “Who is your king?” is directly related to how we live our lives and more importantly what our relationship with Jesus resembles. 

You see, we tend to want to be the kings of our own lives--deciding what we do, who we see, who we help, and why we help those who are a part of our daily lives. This is the natural tendency with which we are born into. This is also the sinful nature that we have had since the tree holding the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. We like to be kings--and truthfully we believe that it should stay that way. 

While reading Daniel I found that we are only one of two different types of people. We are either the king who desired power and knowledge, or we are Daniel who worshiped God and gave all that he was to the life of Christ. To put it into even more simpler terms, you are either a Christian or non-Christian. 

Now I could go on and on about how this relates to our lives, what it looks like to do one or the other, but I find this picture is best understood through your own personal prayer and questioning. So, to end it, I recommend asking yourself--who is your king and where will that king take you?
