Day 2: The Illusion of earthly kings

A 7-day devotional “One Crown. One Throne. One King”

Day 2: The illusion of earthly kings

Theme: False hope in human leadership

Key Thought: Earthly leaders promise much but deliver little compared to God.

Scripture: “Do not put your trust in princes.” — Psalm 146:3

Reflection:
Israel longed for a king to solve their problems. We often do the same—looking to presidents, politicians, influencers, or systems to fix what only God can heal. The best human leader is still human: limited, flawed, and temporary. Only Christ reigns with perfect wisdom and justice.

Call to Action:
Identify one area where you’ve placed too much hope in human leadership and surrender it back to God.

Prayer:
Father, help me anchor my trust in You alone. Remind me that You are my true and eternal King. Amen.
