Sove REIGN...God is still in control
Here we are.
Everything that can be shaken has been shaken. All of our comforts have been disrupted. All that we depend on has been rendered ineffective. Not just some of us. ALL of us. None of us is exempt from the current global pandemic and the effects of its accompanying precautionary measures. Location has not exempted us. Finances nor status have exempted us. Education has not exempted us. Each of us has been forced to pay attention to what is happening right now in our world. We've all been forced to take a pause from the movement of our daily lives, to make adjustments, and to follow guidelines to keep ourselves healthy and safe. So much has been affected, so many have been impacted, so many people globally and locally have been infected. Sadly, so many have passed away.
How do we even begin to wrap our minds around what's going on? How do we even begin to make sense of where to position ourselves amongst the fear, pandemonium, anxiety and grief that surround us daily? We can't fix it. We can't change it and there is currently, no cure for it. From what we've been told, things are going to get much worse before they get better. From what we've been told, the most we can do at this time is to participate in an effort to "flatten the curve."
The prognosis in the natural is grim and bleak.
Here we are.
We are here.
But so is God. He is yet omnipresent. And for those who are able to access Him through
worship by the power of the Holy Spirit living in us, His manifested presence is to be
our constant peace and comfort.
Be reminded during this time that God is sovereign. He can do what He wants, allow what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, with whom He wants, for however long He wants. At the root of the word sovereign is the word "reign." God STILL rules. God STILL REIGNS. God is STILL in control. And, because He is still in control, all is not lost. We are not alone. We can have hope.
Here we are.
We are here.
BUT
So is God.
