Reflection:
With the end of Christendom and the growing hostility towards Christianity in the west, we, like the Psalmist, can take comfort in the fact that God is king over all of the earth. Our politicians, our media personalities, our lawmakers… they all belong to God. Though it may not seem like it, God reigns over our nation. He is seated on his holy throne. Confident. Capable. He is not threatened by any happenings in our world — and neither should we be.
 If this is true, how should we respond when we see earthly leaders rule in an ungodly way?
Prayer:
Sovereign Lord, you are king of all nations. Help us to live confidently, secure in your goodness and power. Amen.
