The Power of the King

The last few years Jess and I (begrudgingly) started buying bees to make our own honey. Last year we bought this beautiful bee castle, transported them from their cage into the bee castle and things went swimmingly. Every day or two, we’d change out their sugar water, made sure the Bee Castle was situated a few inches off the ground and well balanced and we did our best to take good care of them.

Because of this, we reaped the benefits in our garden also. Sun Flowers grew 9-10’ and things bloomed like never before. Sadly, while everything appeared to be growing and going well, it was only seasonal. As we soon found out that not only were the bees no longer producing Honey, there were no bees.

To our dismay, they had been too busy working and staying busy- they rejected the Queen.

Today, I woke up early, drank my depresso and went outside to mow. While I was out mowing, the buzzing around the Bee Castle was so loud, I thought my lawnmower was messing up, so I stopped, turned off my mower and realized the buzzing was coming from the new hive we transitioned over. I don’t once recall them working so ferociously last year.

The difference? They embraced the Queen.

The Power of a Queen is this:

1.) The Queen is the only one with the power to reproduce. Ensuring the Hives Survival and growth.

2.) The Queen produces Colony cohesion through a pheromone called Queen Mandibular which promotes unity and cohesion.

3.) She is in control of the population. She removes or alters the mentality of those bees who disrupt or limit productivity or unity.

4.) The Queen offers stability. It keeps bees focused on expanding their community.

Without a queen, a colony cannot replace or add to its worker population, leading to a loss of cohesion, inability to forage, and eventually the death of the hive.

I would imagine many of us are praying for things in our lives. Many of us are praying for church growth, reconciliation, cohesion, unity and to bear the fruits of our labor, but I fear we have busied ourselves so much in worrying and working that we have neglected the King.

If we usher in His spirit and embrace revival in God, the rest shall be added.

Potential over Problems

When we assess potential, we make the cardinal error of focusing on starting points and the abilities that are immediately visible. In a world obsessed with innate ability, misguided by "perfection", we assume the people with the most promise are the ones that stand out right away. But high achievers vary dramatically in their initial aptitudes. If we judge people only by what they can do on day one, their potential remains hidden.

My point is this: God sees potential where we often see problems.

In Luke 7:36-50, a pharisee named Simon hosts Jesus and, seeing the woman wash His feet, concludes that she is a sinner and even questions Jesus, saying if He were a prophet, would know this and not let her touch Him.

In response, Jesus challenged Simon's judgement by calling out His lack of hospitality and contrasting that with her love and dedication. Jesus affirmed her actions. He says, (47) "Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: (48) "Thy sins are forgiven." (50) "Thy faith have saved thee; go in peace."

Where we see problems in people, God sees potential. Where we see an empty canvas, God sees art. Don't let your limitations limit God.

Jesus Is Always With Us:

Lately, I’ve felt like I am going through a transition period of my life. I’m super blessed and don’t have much to complain about, but I’ve also watched as God has slowly pruned back some things in my life for this season. Rather friends, book delays, separation from family, fill in the blank. I have a vision of things I would like to see God move in and it’s discouraging when they aren’t happening in the timeframe you expect. It’s hard to navigate these moments “alone”.

God recently laid Luke 24 on my heart.

This is the simple truth:

When you are walking away from disappointment, Jesus is walking beside you. Read Luke 24 for reference

In the midst of heartache and disappointment, He is still the God of all comfort.

We al know this story in Luke 24 that’s always stuck with me. Two disciples are walking away from Jerusalem, the place of pain, the place where their hopes were crushed. They had believed Jesus was the one to redeem Israel. But now…He’s gone. Crucified. Buried. And with Him, all their expectations.

So they did what we often do. They walked away from the heartbreak.

But here’s what convicted me. Jesus meets them there.
On the road of disappointment. In the middle of their confusion. Right in their grief.

And they didn’t even recognize Him at first. Isn’t that us? In our most painful seasons, we often don’t realize He’s been with us the whole time, listening, walking, reminding us of truth.

That’s what He does with them. He doesn’t rush them past their pain. He walks with them in it.
And when He breaks bread with them, their eyes are opened, and they recognize Him.
Then they say, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road?”

I’ve had seasons like that—where I felt like I was walking away from something I had hoped for. Times when I didn’t understand why things happened the way they did. But looking back, I can say with full confidence: Jesus was walking with me.
Even when I didn’t see Him. Even when I didn’t feel Him.

He is still the God of all comfort. Still near to the brokenhearted.
Still patiently walking beside His hurting children, reminding them of who He is.

So if you’re in a season like that. Of walking away from disappointment—don’t lose heart. He’s closer than you think. And one day soon, your eyes will be opened to just how near He’s been all along. You’ll see there’s a greater purpose than what you realize.
