He's Boss

“He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.” (Ps 66:7 AV)

How appropriate for our day today.  With wars and rumors of wars, it seems the nations think themselves greater than their Creator.  No doubt our weapons of war are terrible.  All told, if all were used, no doubt almost all of humanity could become extinct.  Yet, not for all the weapons of war of all the nations of the earth can even scratch the glory of God.  Not any.  Not all!  It is sad, really.  Our rebellious third rock from the sun thinks it can collectively conquer God.  It thinks that if the majority of mankind rejects the sovereign Creator, then He is obligated to leave them alone.  Oh, not so!  God created it all.  And therefore owns it all.  How foolish we are to think we are anything.  We think that if we do not believe in Him, then He does not see us.  Out of sight, out of mind.  If God does not exist, then there is no one to observe our wickedness.  But belief that God does not exist does not mean He does not exist.  Our Creator, the First Cause, exists whether we believe in Him or not.

How much more are we that know Him accountable for our rebellion?  What, you say?  How can a child of God be in rebellion against the God who saved Him?  But we can.  And we are.  When we deliberately ignore what the word of God requires, or worse yet, change it to appease our own hearts, we are in rebellion.  When the revealed word of God is as plain as the nose on the face, and we refuse to follow, we are in rebellion.  When the word of God commands certain things like holiness, faithfulness, and sacrifice, and we think it is an option, we are in rebellion.  If the truth be told, the body of Christ is far more rebellious than we may care to think.

God isn’t going to change.  Nor for us.  Nor for anyone.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  God requires what He requires and will not bend to rules simply to please those whom He created.  We were created for Him and not He, us.  He sees everything and will express His pleasure or displeasure.  He rules forever.  There are no elections.  There is no force, real or imagined that can dethrone Him.  He is God, and we are not!  Mic drop!
