“For God is the King of all the earth. … God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Ps. 47:7,8)
It is, sadly, all too easy to live our lives unaffected by this grand reality. God reigns as King of all the earth. It seems at times ethereal to us. Even irrelevant. After all, don’t people and nations seem to do as they please?
We are too focused on our small little worlds to see the big picture clearly. This is why the Bible often refers to the brevity of life and the certainty of death and of judgement. Scripture takes us, at it were, to the top of the mountain, where we can look down from God’s vantage point. Where the big picture comes sharply into focus. Where we realize that God is indeed King of all the earth.
