"The Lord Reigns!"
"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory!" (Revelation 19:6,7).
I am serving as an interim pastor of a church about 30 miles away in a neighboring county. Wherever you are with God's people you find fellow believers who are hurting as they deal with the challenges of living. I am so thankful to declare that the Lord God Almighty reigns! What great peace and assurance a deep awareness of the Lord's reigning control brings to our lives. This is a wonderful truth that is emphasized through the Bible. Consider the following Bible texts:
After God's remarkable deliverance from Egypt Moses and the Israelites sang a song that declares, "The LORD will reign for ever and ever!" (Exodus 15:18). The Psalmist proclaimed that "God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne" (Psalms 47:8). The prophet Isaiah pronounced a central tenet of theology, "God reigns!" (52:7). At the very time the nation was going into Babylonian exile Jeremiah's faith rises out of his despair and he asserts, "You, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation" (Lamentations 5:19).
Mary received a powerful message concerning Jesus from the angel Gabriel when he announced her role in His birth, "He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom will never end" (Luke 1:33). Our daily text is a glimpse of the other side as we read this awesome description, "I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: 'Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns!'"
Amen! Friend in Christ, allow this truth to minister to you in regard to your trials and troubles you are facing this day. That health matter that is so uncertain. The Lord reigns! That job or financial situation that looks like a long, dark tunnel. The Lord reigns! The family troubles that seem to only worsen. The Lord reigns!
Today as we remember this glorious truth, "Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory!" Following the message is a song that comes to mind as I prepare this that has really blessed me along with an audio link.
Be encouraged today,

Brooksyne's prayer: Jesus, You reign over all the earth and You also reign in my heart! What an awesome blessing this truth brings to me today. As I consider that it is not by my might, nor by my power but by the Spirit of the Lord of Hosts that my personal mountains are removed. Jesus, I know that many of the mountains I face are not just blown away by a simple prayer of faith, but these mountains are often the very essence of how You work through my life to reveal Your faithfulness and Your power in the midst of my struggles. You develop godly character as I am challenged to remain steadfast and faithful in my Christian walk. You make my feet like hind's feet and You make me to walk upon high places. Help me to keep my gaze continually upward during my climb so that I see You reigning on Your throne as I bring You glory and honor!
He Reigns!
It's the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It's the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God's holy fire
It's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir
Chorus:
It's all God's children singing glory, glory
Hallelujah, He reigns! (He reigns)
It's all God's children singing glory, glory
Hallelujah, He reigns! (He reigns)
Let it rise above the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this.
Chorus (repeated 2X)
And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they've just heard
Cause all the powers of darkness
Can't drown out a single word!
Chorus (repeated)
"He Reigns" is by a group called the "Newsboys". You can listen to it here. Caution: This song is very intense and will likely prompt praise to God!
