When we come to believe in God and follow Jesus Christ, we come to understand our citizenship a little differently. No longer are we first and foremost subjects of earthly rulers whether they be presidents or kings, but we become primary subjects of the King of kings-- Jesus. With that knowledge, we can trust that if our lives are given in his service, we will be used for his end goals-- not ours. And if we trust that we are used in his service, paradoxically, we will experience the fullest possible life, for we will be living out our purpose. So get on the right path. Serve the right king. And be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord!
