Most Americans are not acquainted with what it’s like to live under a king or queen. We have a history of rebelling against ultimate authorities. We have our rights and have the attitude ‘don’t tread on me!’ Many of us post ‘no trespassing’ signs on property. But the rule of God’s kingdom dismantles that thinking. The Creator and Sustainer of the universe wants a very personal and intimate relationship with us. I’m learning what it means to ‘follow Christ’, to live in His kingdom, to surrender to His authority. Practicing His presence and talking all things out with our Triune God takes a never ending process of education, renewal and repentance.
As I read Revelation and Ezra, I’m struck by the thought that my reverence and awe for God seems petty and minimal compared to what the Bible says.
| ‘We thank you, O God, Sovereign-Strong,
|| WHO IS AND WHO WAS.|| You took your great power
|| and took over – reigned!’
