Our God Reigns Over the Kings of the Earth - February 2, 2021

Morning by Morning, February 2 - Our God Reigns Over the Kings of the Earth

Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of the world, King of kings, King of the kingdom of God, be King of my heart and every moment of my day. ... 

"Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
 
To Him who loves us and freed us from our sins by His blood, and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen!" (Revelation 1:4-6) 

Despite what "the kings of the earth" may be planning and doing, You are the ultimate "ruler" over them all. And all will have to give an account to You, as King of kings and Lord of lords. "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:14). "For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God" (Romans 14:10-12).
 
Your nature of Love and having created us in Your image for a personal relationship of love with You requires the freedom of will to love You or not, obey You or not, worship You or not, rule what's been entrusted to each of us in our spheres of authority and influence according to Your will and Your ways or not. It's the "or not" that opens the door to darkness in our world. It's the "or not" that makes room for "the thief (who) comes only to steal and kill and destroy" in resistance and in rebellion to the One who "came that (we) may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). 

But when You come in the skies one day, and at the same time, wherever You come in the hearts of Your people in our world right now, our God reigns and Your kingdom comes -- here in our hearts and here in our spheres of influence and authority in our world in the power of Your name. We are Your kingdom of "priests" serving our God, serving our King, no matter what or who the kings of the world are serving.

“The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and the rulers take counsel together,
    against the Lord and His Anointed, saying,

‘Let us burst their bonds asunder,
    and cast their cords from us.’

(But) He who sits in the heavens laughs;
    the Lord has them in derision.

Then He will speak to them in His wrath,
    and terrify them in His fury, saying,

‘I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill!’” (Psalm 2:2-6)


Speak to the kings of the earth in Your wrath! Terrify them with Your fury! Let the fear of the Lord come upon them to lead them to repentance in submission to Your Word and Your will. And speak to our hearts -- to the hearts of Your people, Your kingdom of priests serving our God in the midst of our world -- Your words of Spirit and Life, that we may stand firm in truth and faith. For our God reigns everywhere our God is exalted as King! 

From every tribe and tongue and nation throughout our world, wherever Your remnant is holding fast to the Word of Truth, we exalt You as King -- "He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords!" (1 Timothy 6:15) In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you keep exalting our God as King, in your heart and in all that's entrusted to You, holding fast to the Word of Truth in the midst of whatever the kings of the earth seek to do and seek to serve, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. Our God reigns! God bless you, my friend!
