Isaiah 33:17-21 -- The Lord is our King

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with people who are in authority over you?  God doesn't want you to feel this.  He wants to be Lord so that He can give us the best of life.  He wants us to feel safe, He wants to provide for us, He wants to love us....

It's like being a kid with God as our Abba (Father).  He wants to teach us things, He wants to provide for us, He wants us to join Him in His work and if He sees that we're heading for trouble He'll watch carefully and  only let us get in as deep as we can get out.  He won't always let us eat ice cream, many times He'll insist on vegetables and meat...because it's good for us, but at times He'll even give us some ice cream.

The bonus of God being Lord is He knows the hearts of each person, and the future so He can guide, and protect us far better than we could ourselves.
