"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

This is a word to each of us today.  With all the confusion and activity
that has been and still is going on we must keep our eyes on our Lord who
is in control.  The rest of that verse and Vs. 11 says,
"I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge."

We are about to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ Child, and of Him
Scripture has said and we know of its truth,
"For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Might God, Eternal
Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

"...the government will rest on His shoulders..." His dominion (sovereign
authority) is over all!  His dominion is;
Eternal:
"There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, ...to
establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness..." Isaiah 9:7

Universal:
"...and His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the River to
the ends of the earth." Zechariah 9:10

Over Nature:
"And the men marveled, saying, "What kind of a man is this, that even the
winds and the sea obey Him?"  Matthew 8:27
(Read the whole account Vs. 23-27)

Over the Church:
"And He (God) put all things in subjection under His (Christ's) feet and
gave Him as head over all things to the church." Ephesians 1:22

Over Heavenly Power:
"Who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God; angels and
authorities and powers being made subject unto Him." 1 Peter 3:22

Our Lord reigns in all the earth! He is in charge of all things!
Therefore, we can rest in Him!
"Righteousness and justice are the foundations of Thy throne;
Loving kindness and truth go before Thee.
How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
O Lord, they walk in the light of Thy countenance." Psalm 89:14-15

As the Word says,
"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

And so we do give thanks with all praise and glory to Him who is
worthy of it all!  Amen
