If I were a betting man I would say that it is safe to say our world is a little bit messed up. From top to bottom - from rulers to the homeless. Who really governs us? Do we really know? Sure, there are people that have been elected to rule all over the world but who reigns over all?
God. Our God is governing and sovereign over all.
"The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress." (Job 37:23)
God's power and might is beyond our reach. The humans on this earth, their power is all very limited compared to the Alrighty's power. Our earthly rulers do have a great deal of power but it's not even a comparison when you look at God's power.
God is sovereign over all of nature and all of our lives. God is in control-he directs, preserves, and maintains his created order.
Although we can't see it, God is divinely governing the moral and political affairs of people as well. By spending time observing the majestic and intricate parts of God's creation, we can be reminded of his power in every aspect of our lives.
Sure, things seem a little corrupt...that is because they are. What matters is that God is all powerful and all loving. He is faithful and will never fail us. I encourage you to remember that today. Don't get beat up about living in a corrupt world. Be thankful for living in a place where God governs and rules over all.
