Today's encouragement comes from Revelation 19:6b, where we read these words:
"Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!"Are we not glad that this statement above is true—today? It does not say, "The Lord *will* reign someday”; or, “Christ's reign means that everything goes according to our desires and without a hitch." The sovereign rule of our Messiah—between His resurrection and the great Judgment Day—is a do-minion from the midst of a redeemed church, which (in its militant state) finds itself in a fallen world.
Let us not be too moved by troubles, trials, tribulations, wars and rumors of wars; or by anything else, be it good or bad. Over all these things our triune Lord God Omnipotent reigns.
