Jesus rules

I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”

I will declare the Lord’s decree.
He said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have become your Father. (Psalm 2:6-7)

Those are comforting words to me when I think about this crazy world.

Jesus rules.

The Jewish and Roman rulers who crucified him couldn’t change that fact. (Acts 4:25-28)

Satan most certainly couldn’t. (Revelation 12)

No one and nothing can ever take Jesus off of his throne.

And the day will come when God puts everything under his feet. (Psalm 2:8-9, Hebrews 1:5-13)

So whenever I’m feeling unsettled by all the evil I see on the news, or whenever I’m feeling anxious about things in my own life, I choose to hold on to this one truth:

Jesus rules. And he is good.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him. (Psalm 2:12, ESV)
