Something inside of me lately has risen up.
It is the longing to be like a king.
Not in the sense of the word where I am to rule and reign over all, but as a man who takes control of his kingdom and sees it flourish. A king like David.

A king is the ruler of his God-given kingdom and it is here that he is a watcher of those in weakness, a protector for those in persecution, and a supplier of goodness for those needing refreshment. A king knows his dominion and its perimeters; he loves his people.
He will wage war when the walls of the castle are under siege.
He will allow times of festivity and celebration, bestowing blessing and generosity upon those ready to receive. A king like Jesus.

The king has the authority to converse personally with his God.
Every hour of every day spent listening in eager anticipation to the voice of Him whose fathering heart has brought the king thus far.
The king knows the part he must play and knows the Father will never forsake him.

He guides it wherever he pleases.' - Proverbs 21:1
