Heaven Rules

The Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills--Dan.4:17b

One must know and realise that God is still on the throne. He is the Most High One who rules over the whole universe. Irrespective of the situation or environment, it is God who rules. Not realising this who be a great disaster in one's Christian life.

As young as one is, even as old as one may be, one must realise this universal fact, that God rules. Politically or socially or economically or religiously or spiritually, whoever rules is under God's rule. Initiating anything otherwise would be a direct rebellion against God's ordination, even if it is done with the good intention of reformation or rectification as long as it is not directly or indirectly against God Himself of His will and ways. The only exception I could think of is, only if, the one in power under God's rule is anti-God.

David learnt this lesson well when he would not cast his hand on Saul his "enemy" who had been hunting for his life even when he had the upper hand to kill his "enemy". Because David knew Saul was the anointed one of God, though later, he went far away from being God's anointed and even when God literally left him. Still David would not lay his hand. Instead he would do whatever, to escape from confronting Saul even at the shameful case of faking insanity and of joining the Philistine, Israel's enemy.

Likewise, in our Christian life, we must be rule under the Heaven's ruling by the God of the heavens. In our personal life, family life, church life, service life or social life, let God rule and let Him have the free hand to do whatever He wants. In this way, we give access to God to work Himself into us that Christ may have the preeminence in our lives and our living, for Him to carry out God's eternal purpose, which is the very meaning of our existence and the purpose of our lives on this earth.

Lord cause me to know that the heavens do rules.
