Let me rule. Let me reign.
Psalm 67:4
May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth.
Exodus 15:18
The LORD will reign for ever and ever.
Psalm 47:8
God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.
As we listen to the news, take a look around our communities, and hear the trials facing many of our friends and family members, it is easy to wonder if God is actually still on the throne. Is He really ruling this world? Did His reign begin before time? Will it continue beyond eternity?
Yes.
I know so, because God says so in His word. And I believe the Word is true, because I’ve experienced His attributes playing out in so many other ways in my life. Coming from a legacy of abuse, I can testify to His redemptive power. He changed me. He change my life. He changed my children’s future.
Although I wonder about earthquakes and cancer, and fret about finances and my children’s future, I know that God is in charge, not only in this world, but in my heart. He’s turned my feelings into faith steps and my rebellion into redemption.
God rules.
And He continues to rule, even if we don’t see it or know it firsthand, He is offering the gift of His marvelous reign over our lives. Imagine what life would be like otherwise.
