THE ONE WHO RULES

Today's reading: Psalm 87-89

"You are the one who rules the oceans. When their waves rise in fearful storms, you subdue them." Psalm 89:9 NLT

This morning in my prayer chair, while the sun still hides beyond the horizon, the fellas are still sound asleep and the day has yet to begin, I see it...

Six words that will set the tone for my day.

Establish my steps for the next 24 hours.

Remind me of what I know--and what I do not know.

'You are the one who rules...'

When the answers don't come as I please or as soon as I please, I must remember He is the One who rules.

When life throws at me a barrel-full of monkeys, I must remember He is the One who rules.

When the storms of life gather on the horizon and attempt to toss my little boat hither and yon, I must remember He is the One who rules.

That truth, that phrase, that belief, that statement of faith will keep me solidly founded on His abilities, His sovereignty and His love.
