MY GOD REIGNS.

If you keep up with the news, and who does not,

you know that in all appearances the world is in

total chaos.  And it is.  The world appears to be

on the verge of self destruction.  And it is.

In fact Jesus Christ himself told us these days were

coming on this old world.  And His apostles told us

these days were coming as did the prophets of old.

God has been trying to tell us these days were 

coming for several thousand years.  But few pay

any attention.

Does that mean that things are out of God's control?

Of course not.  It is all part of his master plan.  God

permits this evil time to come on the world to 

accomplish his will and purpose.

The Scripture below does not necessarily apply to

today.  But it seems so fitting when we see the 

entire world trying to kick God out of his own

creation.

"Why are the nations so angry?

Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

The kings of the earth prepare for battle;

the rulers plot together against the LORD.

and against his anointed one.

'Let us break their chains.' they cry,

'and free ourselves from slavery to God.'

But the one who rules in heaven laughs.

The Lord scoffs at them."

(Psalms 2:1-4 NLT)

I like that.  God laughs at the foolishness of

the nations.  Another place it says;

"Has the LORD ever needed anyone's advice?

Does he need instruction about what is good?

Did someone teach him what is right

or show him the path of justice?

No, for all the nations of the world

are but a drop in the bucket.

They are nothing more

than dust on the scales.

He picks up the whole earth

as though it were a grain of sand."  

(Isaiah 40:14,15 NLT)

I find great comfort in knowing that the entire

world is still under God's control.  My God reigns.

William Temple

Archbishop of Canterbury 

once said in his sermon:

"While we deliberate, He reigns.

While we decide wisely, He reigns.

While we decide foolishly, He reigns.

While we serve Him humbly, loyally, He reigns.

When we serve Him self-assertively, He reigns.

When we rebel and seek to withhold our service, He reigns."

Yes, my God reigns.

NOTHING can come agains me with out His consent.

I can bring my every care to God because He reigns

and is concerned about my welfare as a child of his.
