Revelation
4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord
and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and
by your will, they were created and have
their being.”
Being a life-long Presbyterian, I have personally
believed and heavily relied upon the Sovereignty of God. My faith informs me
through the Scriptures that God made everything and that by His infinite will,
life is sustained throughout the universe. This helps me immensely in
situations beyond my control, as well as during times outside my understanding.
Since God created all things, then I believe that He constantly oversees our
lives and continually prepares the future ahead of us. Tomorrow is always in
His almighty hands.
I know that many people are concerned about the future of
our country, especially when the outcome of this present election is known.
However, no matter what happens or whoever is chosen to be our leader, Christ
is still the Head of the Church and God is the Supreme Being of the entire
universe. Leaders come and go, nations rise and fall, but the word, way, and
will of the Lord continues forever, so in the end, it is God’s leadership that
will prevail; it is His Kingdom that will endure.
Questions for personal reflection
What worries me about the future? Am I willing to
place it in God’s capable hands?
Prayer: Lord
Jesus, You are the Lord of our lives and the King of our hearts. In the midst
of all that troubles and concerns us, help us to reach out to You for peace and
tranquility, hope and harmony. In your Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
