Psalm 69:4
They that hate me without a cause is more than the hairs of
my head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are
mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
Being king isn't easy. Either people love you or they hate
you. The same is true of every position of power and authority. Presidents,
deans, prime ministers-the list can go on and on-all these people have to face
the passions of the people they lead. Even God, Himself, has to face such
problems.
God is not loved by everyone. There are those who, for whatever reason,
have chosen to reject God. There are those who curse Him as regularly as we
praise Him. We are the subjects of the greatest sovereign in creation. Our Lord
rules us with justice and love. We might not agree with everything He does or
everything He calls us to do, but we owe Him our allegiance and loyalty. Be
loyal to the Lord, and He will rule over you justly and with compassion.
Prayer: It is easy to bow down befog re a ruler of such love
and grace, Lord. In every age, You have ruled fairly. I pray for all those who
do not know Your greatness and Your goodness. Break through with Your light
into their lives. Amen.
