There’s a Stream

My father and I stood before the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey. We listened the tour guide recount the succession of monarchs that had sat upon that chair as each was crowned king or queen of England. I was struck by this bit of British history. I know enough of the stories to recognize that some were  kind-hearted while others were tyrants. This, of course, was the promise of God to his people when they rejected his theocracy in favor of human rule. I felt that human ache of longing for the return of the good king and his kingdom. I remembered that in heaven there has ever only been and will ever only be one king whose reign has always been true and just. From his throne flows grace, love, peace and healing for this world.
