The King of Life is on the Move

 

When out in California this past week, we had the privilege of being in the room where my daughter and her husband were a part of leading worship at their home church.

The song Chloe led was, “All Hail King Jesus.”  
The perfect song for the Easter celebration.

I’ve heard it countless times.
But this one day seemed different.
And this one phrase hit me in a way I can’t quite explain.

“There was a moment when the sky lit up
A flash of light breaking through
When all was lost He crossed eternity
The King of life was on the move”

Ahh yes… “The King of life was on the move.”

In a conversation with a best friend yesterday afternoon we would talk about seeing God’s goodness and her words to me left tear stains on my face.  She’d tell me, “You see differently.  You look for Jesus in the world around you and that’s why things look different to you.”

And it may not have always been that way.

But God… in His kindness.
He has given eyes to see.
A different perspective.

And the week after Easter can be so impactful if we allow it to be.

Because He didn’t stay in the grave.
He didn’t waste away in that earth covered ground below.

He rose.
He’s alive.

And the King of life is on the move!

In my life.
And in yours too!

The King of life is on the move.

Do you see Him?
Can you perceive Him?
Feel the wind from His robe?
See the marks from His sandals?
Hear the sound of His whispering voice?

He’s on the move.

Yes - even when you can’t see Him working - He is!

The King of life is on the move.

In my life.
In your life.

In the trials.
In the pain.
In the suffering.
In the doubt.
In the despair.
In the grief.
In the loss.
In what remains.

He is on the move.

Open your eyes.
Look around!

He’s working all things out for OUR good and HIS glory!

He’s in the tough conversation you’re getting ready to have.
He’s in the burden you’re carrying around.
He’s in that sunrise you see on your way to work.
He’s in the face of your children.
He’s in the hospital bed as you lay in worry and fear.

He’s there.
He’s alive.

The King of life is on the move.

Do you see Him?
