For His Glory

Read Psalm 46

Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

So seldom do we remember that God is the God of the Universe. So often we see God as relevant only in our small little world.

Yet the God of Christianity is the God of the entire universe. The world events do not happen by chance. It is the interplay of human sinful freewill and God’s sovereign righteousness converging into one to bring about God’s purpose – His glory.

It has been proven that people who have gone through pains and trauma in life are usually open to the possibility of God. When mankind continually fail to honour God in politics and world-care, wars and natural disasters are the outcomes. Our century has seen lots of such happenings. These calamities have seen more open doors and open hearts to God.

On a smaller scale, when our world comes crumbling down and everything in our lives seem to spin out of control, it is important to steady ourselves and ask, “is God still God?” The Psalmist says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Ps 46:1).

Are you going through a tough time right now? Having troubles understanding all the crazy stuff that is happening right now? Be still. Know (believe) that He is still God of the universe. Be confident that through all these, His Name will be acknowledged and lifted up in your life.
