How can acknowledging Christ's authority influence your daily decision-making and priorities? Christ's Supreme Authority Hebrews 1:13: “But to which of the angels has He ever said: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet’?” Supporting passages • Matthew 28:18 — all authority is His • Colossians 1:16-18 — He holds all things together • Philippians 2:9-11 — every knee will bow Why His Authority Shapes Every Choice • His word outranks opinions, trends, convenience • Obedience becomes worship • Every role gains eternal weight under His kingship • Compromise looks foolish when the throne is in view Daily Decision Checkpoints • Measure plans by clear Scripture (Psalm 119:105) • Choose integrity; the enthroned Christ sees motives (Revelation 2:23) • Invest in what outlasts this age (1 Corinthians 15:25) • Avoid works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) Reordering Priorities Under His Throne • Time — first portion to communion and gathered worship (Hebrews 10:25) • Money — steward as the King’s funds, give for gospel advance (2 Corinthians 9:6-8) • Relationships — pursue forgiveness and peace (Colossians 3:13-15) • Goals — “Seek first the kingdom” (Matthew 6:33) Living With Confidence and Peace • The King governs circumstances; trust replaces worry (Proverbs 3:5-6) • Opposition loses power; He intercedes for us (Romans 8:34) • Suffering gains purpose; we reign with Him (2 Timothy 2:12) Verses to Keep at the Front of Your Heart • Luke 6:46 — obey the One you call Lord • Psalm 110:1 — source of Hebrews 1:13 • Colossians 3:17 — do everything in His name Practical Next Steps 1. Read Hebrews 1:13 aloud each morning, affirming His rule over your schedule. 2. List upcoming decisions; pair each with a guiding verse. 3. Set phone reminders titled “He is on the throne.” 4. Tell a trusted believer one area you’re surrendering for accountability. 5. Close each day thanking the enthroned Christ for specific guidance. |
