GOD is King

GOD is King. He reigns supreme over all the earth. Over the entire universe in fact. His reign is not something which is dictated by popular demand. His Lordship is not a matter of what we think or decide. We do not vote for Him to be King. He is King whether we like it or not. And our King is a sovereign King, a just King. He says that His "yoke is easy and" His "burden is light". Matthew 11:30. He provides "rest for" our "souls". The LORD was there from before the world was made. It was formed at His hand. In actual fact, it was formed at His voice, since He spoke the world into existence. (Genesis 1).

 His authority knows no bounds. His power is unparalled. His reign is unpresidented. His wisdom is infinite. His love, everlasting and His mercy never ceases. Great is His faithfulness! He is not a liar, neither can He sin. There is no unrighteousness in Him. You will never find a Friend like Him. He has no equal. How many people do you know that can speak things into existence, calm the storms (Mark 4:35-40) and rebuke the waves, part the seas, make a donkey speak, listen to the prayers and innermost thoughts and desires of the nations, and yet look after the flowers and feed the birds. OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD! Have you ever considered the fact that Jesus is listening to our prayers and we have His full attention. Yet still  He is fully present with GOD the Father. And  He is present with billions upon trillions of other people all around the world, all at the same time! That is mind-blowing don't you think. Our GOD is great! He is awesome. He is allpowerful. He is omnipotent. (all powerful). He is omniscient. (He sees everything. Nothing gets past Him. He sees all and knows all). He is omnipresent. (He is present everywhere, all the time.) He is an awesome GOD. The only GOD.

 In 1 Kings 18:16-46 When Elijah was about to prove to the prophets of Baal that the LORD GOD is the only GOD and the One worthy of our praise, adoration and worship, he commanded that two bulls be presented. One for the prophets of Baal and the other for Elijah. (the prophet of the LORD, the only GOD). He said "Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire—he is God.” Obviously the prophets of Baal received no answer from their false god. But the LORD responded to His servant Elijah by sending fire from Heaven.
Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The LORD—he is God! The LORD—he is God!” 1 Kings 18:38-39.
