Our God reigns

The LORD shall reign forever and ever.” – Exodus 15v18

As part of their wonderful psalm of deliverance from Egypt the people of Israel made this wonderful, bold statement – “Our Lord shall reign forever and ever.” This is a truth we will se put forth often in our stroll through the Word of God.

We often forget the fact that the Lord shall reign forever and ever. Even if we know it we tend to try and push Him off the throne and put ourselves there instead. When we see the situations in life and insist on working things out our way we rebel against His kingship.

Another problem is that we simply forget Who the King really is. We worry and fret because we can’t see what His plan is. We think that the throne is vacant and that the world in anarchy.

However, our view does not change things. God is still on the throne. He has not and never will vacate the throne. It is walking by faith, not sight that we acknowledge His kingship.

It when we see Him on the throne that we can be care-ful for nothing. Our God reigns. The Lord shall reign forever and ever. May we walk daily in that wonderful truth.
