He's Still On The Throne

On the way to church this morning, I was struggling. I was angry. Angry at someone who was causing great distress to one very dear to me. God is so good. He reminded me that He is still on the throne.

Yes! A King who sits on the throne. He's never lost His authority. It doesn't matter what happens around me. He created all and is ruler of all. I find comfort in this fact.

I had allowed myself to get caught up in emotion. Why? Just because someone has a problem in life and attacks another? Like this doesn't happen every day? Why should I allow my faith to be moved and sink to letting my emotions rule?

I shouldn't. The one attacking is no doubt hurt and reeling like a wounded animal. Or possibly, this one has learned to be mean. I can pray for her as well as the one attacked.

"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you." Luke 6:27-28
