"God Reigns"

   We live in a very interesting day and time. While people seem to raise their fists to heaven, try to expel God from this nation and see how bent many are at outrageous sins to flaunt in the eyes of millions, God still reigns! Man doesn't! That's just a plain truthful fact.

  Kick prayer our of school. The Lord God still reigns! Start enacting laws that keep us from preaching against sinful practices that are abominations to the Lord. The Lord God still reigns! All the way back when God sent a flood on this earth and man was set in their heart to do evil, practice sin and give God no thought, still God reigns (Gen. 6:5)! David spoke in Psa. 29: "The Lord sat as King at the flood; yes, the Lord sits as King forever." When Rome ruled the world and began to oppress those who held to the Lord, they found out who reigns as God dismantled their world dominance as seen in Revelation.

  In Psa. 2 the question is asked: "Why are the nations in an uproar and the people devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!'" While rulers and people try to distance themselves from the Lord, He still reigns!

  While in Buffalo, New York, they had an article in the paper about the region and religion. They found a mass exodus in the religion in their area. While people claimed this or that religion, the majority have become "unpracticing". Many said they were disillusioned with religion and that we are self-made and can maintain life without some make-believe Diety! This seems to be the shift in attitude of our nation "He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them." (Psa. 2:4)

  I pray we never loose sight of the One who reigns! Here is the advice God speaks to the rulers: "Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the Lord with reverence and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath man soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!" (Psa. 2:10-12)

  God reigns at creation. God reigns at the flood. God reigns at the crucifixion of Jesus! God reigns when He brings this world to its close. Never, ever forget it! Fear the Lord and keep His commandments.
