One of things I’ve really focused on this semester at MVNU in my work and my personal life is returning to something I read about years ago, asking us an important question: Who (or what) is on the throne of your heart?

A couple of verses that stand out:

Matthew 6:21: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I Peter 3:20: But in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

Revelation 3:20: Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Whoever sits on the throne of your heart is who you worship and serve; and if we aren’t careful, depending on who we serve (who or what we make an idol) can influence our thoughts with toxicity and lies. Scripture tells us where our treasure is, that is also where our heart is. What do you hold near and dear to you? Who do we depend on? That is what you have made the king of your heart. Who you’ve put on the throne. This song is a declaration to recommit to having Christ be the King of your Heart!
