“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” (Psalm 45:6, NASB)
“Whenever things are shaky around you, whenever you are afraid, just remember that God is on His righteous throne …
Many rulers in history thought their thrones would endure forever. But those those thrones were toppled … Not so with Jesus Christ. His throne is not ruined by the ravages of time. It is eternal and righteous, and it can never be overthrown by the attacks of men. Whatever our Lord does is right. He never rules unjustly, and He never causes evil. His scepter is righteous.
Let the eternal throne of God rule in your life today.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
We were just talking in church about men in Scripture who did right yet seemed to get the short end of the stick—Uriah the Hittite (Bathsheba’s husband), Naboth, who Jezebel set up to be killed so her wicked husband could have his vineyard, etc. But their stories don’t end there, and God will set things right. Though so much in this world is unjust, God sees. He is the only one with the wisdom and power to deal with them.
Your message is so reassuring. This sentence really stands our for me, “His throne is not ruined by the ravages of time. It is eternal and righteous, and it can never be overthrown by the attacks of men.” We are so blessed by the gift of love and salvation granted to us by Jesus.
A very timely and encouraging message for us today. I often have to remind myself that God is still in control and He is not surprised or dismayed by anything in the news.
