“The LORD has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.”  Psalm 103:18
 
With all that is going on in the world right now, it is so good to know that King Jesus is in charge and ruling.  We know that He is the King for He has revealed it Himself in answer to Pilate’s question:
 
“Pilate therefore said to Him, ‘Are You a king then?’  Jesus answered, ‘You say rightly that I am a king.  For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.  Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.’”  John 18:37
 
In the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, this truth is written, 
“And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”  Revelation 19:16 
 
His right to rule is--
By divine decree:
“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”  Psalm 2:6
 
By prophesy:
“But to the Son He says,
‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.’”  Hebrews 1:8
(This is a New Testament quote of Psalm 45:6.)
 
By birth:
“For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.  
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  Isaiah 9:6
 
In this chaotic world we can be assured that King Jesus is bringing about that plan that was conceived in eternity past.  There are no surprises for our Lord!  He knows the beginning for the end!  
 
Scripture says:
“Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”  
Joshua 1:9
 
I know I have quoted that verse often, but Believer, it is a good reminder that He is always with us.  It is also good to be reminded that we are to be anxious for nothing in fact we are to rejoice always!
 
“Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I will say, rejoice!”  Philippians 4:4
“Be anxious for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”  Vs. 6-7
 
We are to be content; nor are we to fear:
“Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things as you have.  For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave your not forsake you.’
So we may boldly say,
‘The Lord is my helper;
  I will not fear.
  What can man do to me?’”  Hebrews 13:5-6 
 
As Romans 8:31 says,
“…If God is for us who can be against us?”
 
So in all that comes our way, we can do as the Apostle Peter tells us,
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7
 
Jesus reminds His disciples and us in John 16:33 of the things He has told them at His last supper with them (Chapters 13-16),
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  
 
Thank you Most Holy God for your constant presence.  These time could cause us to fear, BUT in Christ Jesus and lead by the Holy Spirit we stand in the armor of God; dressed in the truth, righteous, peace, salvation, faith, and the word of God so to stand!  
Read it for yourself in Ephesians 6:13-17 and put the armor on daily.  For what you will be doing is putting on the Lord Himself.
 
Again, we thank you Lord!  Amen
