When I was reflecting on this scripture this morning, my heart just started to rejoice when I read that “the Lord reigns”. I then realized that the verb is in the present tense which means…He Still reigns.
As leaders, we are impacted, grieved, amazed, troubled, and maybe astonished by what we see and experience in this life. Many times, things in our society, community, and relationships just don’t make sense to our natural minds.
What is true and real is that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkened, and spiritual wickedness.
What is also true is that we serve a true and living god – THAT STILL REIGNS. He is the same God that created us in his image and his likeness.
As we continue to press in, to know him, to learn of him, to trust him, to lean on and depend on him, to hide under his wings for protection, we can and shall be reassured and stabilized for the leadership battle for this season and this time.
When we look at the outcomes of our time and energy spent drawing closer to God, we will begin to see that when adversity comes, we will faint not because our strength will be strong.
Gods purpose will be revealed and all the people will see His glory and brilliance.
It is my prayer that we will be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might as we put on the whole armor of God.
Be Blessed,
Be a Blessing!
“The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands and coastlands be glad.
Clouds and thick darkness surround Him [as at Sinai]; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries on all sides.
His lightnings have illuminated the world; The earth has seen and trembled.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory and brilliance.”
Psalms 97:1-6 AMP
