We Americans don't have a king and don't want one. (I'm really trying not to make a joke about Elvis--forgive me for even thinking that).
We are so anti-monarchal that some people have suggested renaming Christ the King Sunday to Reign of Christ (a title that also is less sexist?)
Yet, even though we don't want an earthly monarch, we do yearn for an earth ruled by Christ. So, we can read Psalm 93 which at the time it was first sung, was a celebration of the enthronement of God, and interpret it with a Christian lens.
We are seeking a world in which Christ reigns over chaos and anarchy, a world of doing what God wants us to do.
