By Lord: someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler.
What’s lord of your life?
A lord is someone or something that has power in your life; that influences your decisions; and determines your actions.
Think about your life. What dominates it? What do you give the most time to? What do you give the most love to? What do you let influence your thoughts, actions, and decisions?
Are you letting someone or something take the throne of your heart?
If so, it’s time to get your priorities back in order.
The only thing or person that is to be on the throne of our hearts and be the lord of our lives is God. And yet, we let other people and things take His rightful place.
Today, I encourage you to examine your life and put God back where He’s meant to be. Invite Him to be lord of your life today.
