"GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM." One day soon at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. Our Lord Jesus has power over all flesh. He is upon the throne of the universe. He superintends all things. His will cannot be frustrated. His designs must be accomplished. Nothing is left to chance. His hand is in every event. He rules over the world by His power. He rules in the church by His word. He rules in the heart by His Spirit. He reigns to crush or convert your foes; to secure your well-being and His glory. Let this truth calm and compose your mind at all times: "My God reigneth." He sits above the floods, He remains King for ever. He is entitled to all honour. He is the proper object of your fear, faith, and love. See Him on His throne and rejoice; for it ensures your safety, happiness, and honour. Do men oppress? Does Satan annoy? Are things going wrong? This is your comfort: your God reigneth. He directs and controls every being and every event. Gracious God! May I ever live, believing that the reins of government are in Thy hands; that Thy counsel shall stand, and that Thou wilt do all Thy pleasure! My God, reign in me!

For Meditation:
His kingdom cannot fail;
He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice!
