Today, Remember: “the Most High {God} rules the kingdom of men {our earthly governance} and gives it {leadership} to whom he will”

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

Despite our need to come together, under God, in the in the difficult circumstances surrounding the Coronavirus environment, political discord and uncertainty surround us in all directions today. Without Jesus in your life, you have reasons to be anxious and fearful. However, Jesus tells you, in Matthew 6:31: “Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”. The days, months, and years may hurt our pride, wallets, and/or our freedom. On the other hand, you should not let the current political or health-risk environments hinder your resolve to continue in your fearless faith in the truth; your constant hope in the future; and your radical love for your neighbors. God has a plan; and, regardless of how things look from your eyes, you must remain faithful to His purpose. Now is the time to draw near to Jesus and to advance His Kingdom. Your gaze must remain on Jesus if you want to walk on the water during the storm.

God is the King of Kings and the Sovereign God of the Universe. As Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 4:17 when God told Nebuchadnezzar: “to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.”. To repeat this line of confidence from God in Daniel 4:17: “. . . the Most High {God} rules the kingdom of men {our earthly governance} and gives it {leadership} to whom he will. . .”. God is in command! God is always involved in our lives, and He gives the government offices “to whom he will”, even if the political processes produce “the lowliest of men {or women}”. Sometimes, we receive the elected officials we need, and sometimes we receive the elected officials that we deserve; but God is always Sovereign.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 6:31; Philippians 4:5-7; Daniel 4:17; Psalms 106c:25-36.
