"The LORD shall reign forever and ever." – Exodus 15v18
The response of Israel after the Red Sea may very well have been emotion based and they may have quickly forgotten what they said, but they said a lot of great things in their victory song.
The way we sometimes respond to difficulties today you might think we have forgotten who our King is. We are so concerned about worldly rulers that we can often forget who our King is and think that He has somehow been dethroned.
Our does God indeed reign in our kingdom. Yes, we have to live in this present world system for the time being, but this is not where our kingdom lies. We dwell in a heavenly kingdom and as the kingdoms of the world fall apart we can rest in the knowledge that our God does indeed reign.
He is in control. He still sees me as His servant sojourning in a foreign land. I can’t expect the kingdoms of this world to agree with my King. This present world is not going to go His way, it never has.
But my King still reigns. He is on His throne. He will only let this world go so far then He will step in and reign not only in my life, but literally and physically in this world.
What a day that will be.

AMEN~! Yes, God is in control. When we're out of control in our own lives, God sends His precious Holy Spirit to convict us and point us back onto the narrow road. Matthew chapter 7
