Celebrating On Victoria Day

The British Commonwealth is made up of 56 countries with a combined population of about 2.4 billion people, almost a third of the world's population.  Their head of state is King Charles.  In Canada and around the world, on the Monday before May 25, we have a holiday that is called Victoria Day.  It was set in place in 1845 to give people an opportunity to celebrate the birthday of Victoria who was the reigning queen at that time.  It is the day now appointed to recognize the birthday of whoever wears the crown and sits on the throne. 

But we do see Jesus already given a crown of glory and honor. He was made lower than the angels for a little while. He suffered death. By the grace of God, he tasted death for everyone. That is why he was given his crown.  (Hebrews 2:9 NIRV)

Jesus set aside the glory and honour of heaven to come to earth, die for our sins, and restore us to His eternal Kingdom.  Jesus cares for each of us and He can be trusted to walk the path of recovery with us if we invite Him to do so.  He truly is a King worth celebrating on this holiday Monday. 

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, I praise You for who You are, King over all kings and Lord over all lords. Thank you for your willingness to come to earth to die for my sins.  I choose to go forward with You in my life in recovery.  Please help me to follow Your ways in all my affairs.  All power and glory belong to You and You are truly worth celebrating today.  Amen
