God Reigns

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Psalm 93

Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory. —Revelation 19:6-7

I remember well the shock and grief I felt in 1968 when Senator Robert Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. People everywhere, regardless of their political affiliation, were numb with grief and horror. Coming so soon after the assassination of his brother, President John F. Kennedy, made it even more tragic.

Yet after Senator Kennedy’s funeral in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the walls echoed with the triumphant words of Handel’s Messiah: “The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, . . . and He shall reign for ever and ever.”

These words do not suggest that God willed the assassination. They are a triumphant affirmation that in spite of such events, God achieves all His good purposes. People do things that anger and grieve Him. But He is at work bringing good out of evil, light out of darkness, joy out of pain, order out of chaos, and life out of death.

In Psalm 93, the pounding waves of the seas that “have lifted up their voice” represent humanity in turmoil and opposition to God (v.3). They sometimes seem to be winning the battle. But the Lord is “mightier than the noise of many waters” (v.4). One day He will completely vanquish all opposition and usher in the perfect eternal world He has promised us. Our God reigns! Hallelujah! —Herbert Vander Lugt

Our God is an awesome God!
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love—
Our God is an awesome God!  —Mullins

The more clearly we see God’s sovereignty,
the less perplexed we are by man’s calamities.

OOOPS! My red shirt's in the hamper - wore it on Flag Day. Gonna have to settle with a back-up Red, White and Blue.

On another note, got my letter from the VA warning about the threat of personal information being compromised.

I knew what the letter was all about, but waited until mrsd was present to open it. After a few moments of scanning the text, I hollered, "All Right! I've been called back to active duty!"

Mrsd didn't buy it for even one second. I guess I am too old... :(

Supporting Our Troops is never too early to teach our young -uns
