The Lord Reigns

The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty.
Psalm 93:1, RSV

"Whether men and women know it or not they are now living under God's rule. Some live in rebellion that can be either defiant or ignorant. Some live in an obedience that can be either reluctant or devout. But no one lives apart from it. ...

There are no days when the rule is not in operation. The week is not divided into one Lord's day when the rule of God is acknowledged and six human days in which factories, stock exchange, legislatures, media personalities, and military juntas take charge and rule.

Neither ignorance nor indifference diminishes God's rule. Day after day "the Lord reigns."
