“Your Heart Has a Throne”
Beloved, your heart has a throne—and something has to sit there. God created us with a place inside that was designed for Him alone. The problem isn’t whether the throne will be filled; it’s who or what will occupy it. For some, it’s fear. For others, it’s pride, people, success, relationships, or comfort. But whatever sits on the throne of your heart will ultimately rule your decisions, shape your desires, and direct your destiny.
In the Old Testament, Solomon writes in Proverbs 4:23: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Solomon understood that the heart is the control center of life. When something other than God sits on that throne, everything else becomes unstable. But when God takes His rightful place, everything else falls into order.
And in the New Testament, Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:15: “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” Not visit. Not occasionally influence. Rule. That word “rule” means to govern, to have authority, to sit on the throne. Paul teaches that peace isn’t a feeling—it’s a Person. When Christ rules your heart, worry loses its voice, fear loses its grip, and confusion loses its power.
So Beloved, take inventory today. Who is sitting on the throne of your heart? Because something is. And the throne wasn’t built for fear, pride, pressure, or people. It was built for the King of Kings. Make room. Move everything else off. And let God sit where He belongs.
Pray with me:
Father God, I surrender the throne of my heart to You. Remove anything that has taken Your place—every fear, idol, distraction, or desire that doesn’t honor You. Rule my heart, guide my steps, and shape my life according to Your will. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
