THE LORD IS ON THE THRONE!

Last evening I was speaking with a very dear Anna on the subject of persecution, protection of Christians and the pathetic state of the Church. This dear brother quoted Isaiah 6:1 to bring the whole discussion into perspective.  The text says – “​1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” – Isaiah 6:1

Enduring Word Commentary commenting on this verse says – “So, to say in the year King Uzziah died is to say a lot. It is to say, “In the year a great and wise king died.” But it is also to say, “In the year a great and wise king who had a tragic end died.” Isaiah had great reason to be discouraged and disillusioned at the death of King Uzziah, because a great king had passed away, and because his life ended tragically. Where was the LORD in all this?
b. I saw the LORD sitting on a throne: Where was the LORD in all this? The LORD was sitting on a throne! God was still enthroned in heaven and was still in charge of all creation.” Doesn’t that change the whole perspective? It sure does!

Therefore, whatever may happen in the world, and all around us, including within us – let us never ever forget that, the LORD God Almighty, the Creator of the universe, and the Most High God is on His throne, and there is no power to dethrone Him. This should assure us, in spite of all the raging storms. May the LORD help us have faith in Him, His ability and His timing.
