Bible Verse of The Day – 6-13-22

1 Chronicles 16:31 (NKJV) 31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”

Life is messy. The world can be a crazy, scary place.

But there is one thing that I can say that will bring light to seemingly-insurmountable darkness; The Lord reigns.

No matter what life throws at us, whether individually or collectively, The Lord reigns.

We can face some horrendous things in our lives, again, either individually or collectively. But no matter what we face, God is the source of hope, strength and light in the darkness.

We were never promised a life of rosy situations. We were never promised that life would be fair. We were never, ever assured that life would be without trials and tribulations.

In fact, Jesus told us the exact opposite.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation…

But what else did Jesus say, at the end of verse 33?

He said, ”but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”.

So, our strength and hope lie in the fact that He has already overcome the world, meaning that, although we will face trials and tribulations, we have victory in Him through it all.

And this even applies when things might not go the way we think they should.

And as we walk through this life here on earth, and we deal with the obstacles and the setbacks we sometimes face, there is one thing that we need to be careful not to do.

And it is this; we should never question God’s sovereignty and the way He chooses to do things.

Should we decide to do so, we just may find ourselves in the same shoes as Job, when God so aptly put him in his place after he questioned God’s ways.

Job 38:4 (NKJV) 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
