                          “God's Reign”
 Psalm 89:14
Your throne is founded on two strong pillars—righteousness and
justice.  Unfailing love and truth walk before You as attendants.  (NLT)

     For the time being, the Lord our God rules from His throne in Heaven.  He is in total control of every aspect of His creation.  He knows about every little detail found in the entire universe, including all the comings and goings of every living creature, regardless of its size or importance.  The Living God of the universe is perfect in every way.  He is the essence of holiness and everything He says and does is goodness in the purest form.  His justice is pure and simple, never unjustly condemning or unjustly rewarding.  Our Sovereign Lord, has shown how much He loves mankind by dying in the flesh and suffering the wrath due to mankind, because everyone is guilty of sinning against the holiness of God and we all deserve to be punished.  This is our God.
     God tells us that His attributes never change. His righteousness is always the same.  We can always depend on God to be God, because He can be nothing else.  Trusting God in all things is the only pathway to peace in this world that embraces everything that God is not.  It is impossible to trust in a world that changes with the drop of a hat.  The flawed and imperfect ways of this fallen world is fickle at best.  It moves back and forth, and up and down like the waves of the ocean.  And not only that, the ways of man are evil and wicked and it is our very nature to rebel against the very God who created us.   It is not wise, my friends, to trust this dying world as your hope and future, because it will one day burn up with all those who worship it!

                                           A Whisper of Hope 
I AM Holy, child...I Am righteously just and fair in all I do and say.  I never create anyone and then leave them on their own.  Sometimes it may seem this way, but I came to your world and died your death, so you could reign again with Me.

Revelation 15:2-4
I saw before me what seemed to be a crystal sea mixed with fire.  And on it
stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue
and the number representing his name.  They were all holding harps that
God and given them.  And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant
of God, and the song of the Lamb:

    “Great and marvelous are your works,
            O Lord God, the Almighty.
   Just and true are Your ways,
            O King of the nations.
   Who will not fear, O Lord,
            and glorify Your Name? 
   For You alone are Holy.
   All nations will come and worship before You,
           for Your righteous deeds have been revealed.”  (NLT)


                          Man is unstable in all his ways.
                                       (James 1:8)
