He’s Still on the Throne

This morning, as I got ready to do my devotions, I was talking to God for a minute before starting my Bible reading, sharing some of my thoughts and frustrations with Him. I had had a “Murphy’s Law” kind-of-day yesterday, where basically everything that could go wrong did. Actually, I had been having that kind of week.  I looked on our church’s app for the daily Bible reading schedule, and I started, as always, reading Psalms. Today’s was Psalm 93. The first three words of this Psalm are The Lord reigneth… What an amazing reminder that God is in control! When my life feels out of control, He has it covered. When I have a sick kid and cannot seem to get answers, He reigns. Psalms 93:1 goes on to say, …he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world is also stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Then, I turned over to Proverbs to read that corresponding day, Proverbs 18, but accidentally opened to Proverbs 21. The first verse of Proverbs 21 says, The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. I was reminded once again that God has it under control. While I should pray for my country, my family, and the situations that God brings into my life, I have no reason to worry or fret about them because God is still on the throne. Today, I can just sing this song to myself and leave it all in God’s hands.

“He’s still on the throne,

So what could be wrong.

It is well with my soul.

Let the stormy winds blow.

I’m reminded today

Thank God I am saved.

Salvation’s sweet song

While ages roll on,

He’s still on the throne.”

~ from “He’s Still on the Throne” by Kyla Rowland
