Lesson 9, “The Lord Our King,” highlights God’s sovereignty as King over Israel and all nations. Unlike earthly kings, His rule is just, righteous, and everlasting. God’s Kingship God’s throne is established in holiness and power. Israel’s security comes not from armies or alliances but from trusting their true King. Rejecting False Kings When Israel sought human kingship, it revealed distrust of God’s rule. The lesson warns against placing hope in human systems rather than in God.

His reign is eternal, and we are called to live under His rule with trust and obedience.
