Created to Be Kings
We men were created to be kings. To rule the dominions weve been given with truth, justice, and love. To bring life to the land we live in and prosperity to the inhabitants who exist inside its walls. To fight evil when it crosses our borders and to diplomatically connect and support our neighbors and allies in the battles of this world.
We were made to be kings. But something has gone wrong.
Somewhere down the line we began believing we were made to be the king. To decide for ourselves what is right and wrong. To use our power and prowess for our own selfish gain. To hoard our wealth at the expense of others and to steal what is not ours. To not sacrifice for the ones we love but to hide and live in fear instead.
Because while we were given a throne, we wanted to sit on the throne. But only when the King of Kings rules over us, only when we allow the Lord of all to have authority over our rule, will the kingdoms he has entrusted to us succeed.
Through the following pages, I want to help you like others have helped me to become a more whole and integrated man. In addition to stories and thoughts, I will offer you practical tips, recipes, workouts, plans for kicking addictions, reading lists, style insights, dating advice, and road maps to following your dreams. I want to inspire your mind and heart so you can claim the life of the king God made you to be.
In the past, when a king was nearing the end of his reign, he would often write letters to the incoming king. This was a way for him to pass on the things he had learned and discovered in his years to better serve and guide the new king as he took on the responsibility of ruling a domain.
We see this practiced in countless royal lines, and we see it in Scripture in places like Proverbs, where King Solomon wrote to his sons in hopes of imparting his knowledge, beginning many of his chapters with My son...
This book, too, was written as a collection of essays from an older king who has gained hard-earned wisdom and experience to a younger king who is beginning his journey.
Each chapter is broken down like this:
Essay . At the beginning of each chapter is an essay on a particular aspect of being a king, specifically a king under God and over the domain he has given us to rule in our lives. It offers a few thoughts and insights into things relevant to our walks as men of faith in a modern world.
King s Questions . After each essay are questions. These questions are designed to personalize the words and lessons in a way that will connect to us in our own lives.
Scripture Reading . Next is a Scripture passage to give us insight into what the Bible has to say on the subjects covered. We can ingest the Word of God in a way that speaks directly to the issues we might be facing.
King Tip . Lastly, at the end of each chapter is a life tip that has something to do with the subject explored in the essay. The tips offer fun activities, educational bits, recipes, how-tos, short stories, dating advice, questionnaires, book lists, and more.
This book can be read alone to receive solo encouragement or enjoyed by a groupa Bible study, a mens group, or two friends learning and growing together.
It can be read once daily to complete a forty-one-day guide (including the afterword) to beginning your journey to becoming king, or it may be read once weekly spread out over a year.
A Man after Gods Own Heart
Ive always had an affinity for King David. Being a pastors kid, I knew all the prominent figures in Scripture, from Adam to Paul. And as amazing as each of these people wereas influential and important as their lives wereI felt like because of the struggles I faced and my mind/personality, I couldnt totally connect to their stories. But right in the middle of 1 Samuel, the book in Scripture where Davids story is told, was where I often found myself drawn to as a young boy.
David, like me, was wild at heart. He had a proclivity for getting in trouble, running his mouth, and picking legendary fights with fabled foes. But in his heart, he desired to be good, to do what was right, to own his mistakes, and to be Gods. He was a character I could connect with.
My mom always said I was out of the box. She said I was larger than life, just like David. And reading his story showed me how God used this flawed but dedicated man, not because David was perfect but because of the choice he made over and over again to turn his heart toward God. That gave me hope that God could do the same for me.
