Christ Is King!
One of my prayers this week has been that whatever direction our country heads, it is exactly what God wants. I believe God holds all things in His hands, and can even turn bad into good. I don’t know how He does it, but somehow, God even turned that evil cross into the start of a new kingdom.
With Christ as king, He will one day take all that is against Him, and place it at the feet of the Father. One of the most overlooked passages of 1 Corinthians 15 is verses 24-25, “Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.”
There are certainly those who oppose God, but they have no ultimate say in what happens here on earth. He is supreme.
I rest in that.
Sure, I’m happy for our freedoms, our borders, and the cost of eggs going down. Sure, I’m happy for the opportunity to stabilize the Supreme Court for the next decade, and sure, I’m happy for some of the conservative policies that can help our country.
But this was not an us vs. them situation. Never forget who the real enemy is. You’re in a spiritual battle, and Christ is your Captain.
