The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all. Psalm 103:19

Have you any concerns over our nation? The health care bill? The wars? The great distance America has moved from her roots? I was comforted this morning with the truth of Psalm 103:19. His throne is established in the heavens. His sovereignty rules over all. See the word "reign" in the middle of sovereignty? He reigns. Period. We can rest in peace that God is indeed in control. He takes credit in Isaiah 45:7 that "He is the one who forms light, creates darkness, causes well being and creates calamity; I am the LORD who does all these."

So what feels out of control for you today? Rest, it is in complete control of the ONE who made it all, knows all and sees all before you and me. Now that's some peace I can use a regular dose of in my heart and mind. How about you?

  1. Love the "reign" in sovereignty!! Great reminder of who is REALLY in control.

    I learned about the following verse from Beth Moore's Daniel study last year. It really puts earthly govt. in perspective.

    Daniel 2: 20
    Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.
    He changes times and seasons; HE SETS UP KINGS and DEPOSES of them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

  2. Yes HE does! What peace we can have in the midst of our crazy world! Psalm 119:152 reads, "Of old I have known from Your testimonies that You have founded them forever."
