The other day a “memory” came up on my Facebook page. It was a memory about the part of The Lord’s Prayer that says, “Your Kingdom Come.” It was a reminder that our God is on the throne today. [Matthew 6:10]
The memory came on the same day there was an article on my online news page where a Russian Foreign Minister discussed the specific circumstances where Putin might use nuclear weapons as part of his war against Ukraine. Scary stuff.
We are to be praying for God’s Kingdom to come. Let us not, however, fall into the mistaken belief that God is waiting off somewhere to assume the Throne and Reign over all. That has never been the issue. Our God is on the Throne today, as He has been since eternity past and will be into eternity future. There is no argument, there is no challenge to His reign that will succeed. He rules over what He created. Man may not like the idea. Man may fight against His reign. But that changes naught. Our God is still on the Throne.
One of the greatest tributes to the reign of God is the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. Once cannot listen to that chorus without sensing just a smidgen of what it must be like to hear those words sung in the heavenlies. Handel used the words from Revelation 19:6: “And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, ‘Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!’” [NKJV]
If you are worried about a nuclear war today – let me remind you, “The LORD God Omnipotent Reigns!”
If you are worried about inflation today – let me remind you, “The LORD God Omnipotent Reigns!”
If you are worried about your health, your family, your relationships, your finances – let me remind you, “The LORD God Omnipotent Reigns!”
If you are worried about this country’s future today – let me remind you, “The LORD God Omnipotent Reigns!”
If you are just worried today – let me remind you, “The LORD God Omnipotent Reigns!”
