Psalm 47:8 

The world remains in massive flux, like a ping pong ball, going back and forth. The wisest of people have failed to anticipate problems, and their solutions often fall short. We wonder what tomorrow will bring and what else may happen.

While the world seems caught up in turmoil, God never changes. The power-brokers may think they’re in control, but “God reigns over the nations.” Regardless of how things appear, he remains sovereign.

Through every change, God remains perfectly calm. He isn’t worried or caught up in emotional traumas. He simply sits “on his holy throne,” ruling, directing, and completing his plans. He was there yesterday. He is there today. He will be there tomorrow. No matter what takes place in the world, he remains on his throne!

If we focus on the events of the world, our hearts can be subject to an emotional roller coaster—up one moment, down the next. Never sure how we will feel the next morning…constantly worried and uncertain…battered and shaken.

The answer? Anchoring our faith in God. Powerful rulers will come and go. Fashions will rise and fall. Trends will emerge and recede. The news may be good or bad. But through every circumstance, God remains faithful. Thank him because he reigns over the earth, he will meet your every need, and for his peace. Choose to trust him.

Question:
Have you been affirming your faith in God each day?
