king

This song's been running through my head lately. It's just a really catchy song. But it seems to be some ridiculous coincidence that there's a phrase in the chorus that goes, "Who died and made you king of anything?"

I have never heard that phrase used in regular everyday speech. But yesterday I said, "Just stay silent," to one of my friends, and someone pulled the "king" thing on me.

First thing is that I'm kind of tactless and I realize I shouldn't really ever tell someone to stay silent, but the second thing is that it just seems weird that I hear that phrase the week after this song comes out.

What's more, our Sunday sermon was all about being a king - about King David in the Old Testament. Talk about eerie coincidences (or not). Anyway, there's a passage that stuck out in particular that I've pseudo-memorized:

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
- Philippians 2:5-11

Who died and made me king of anything?

P.S. I floss everyday now.
