"....As King Forever

"The Lord [Jesus Christ] sat enthroned at the Flood, and the Lord [Jesus Christ] sits as King forever."  (Psalm 29:10)

The Word for, "sat," can also be translated, "remain."  The truth is that Jesus has been, is, and will, "remain...as King forever."  Whoever else claims leadership over men and nations are as mere pharaohs, czars, prime ministers, presidents, servants of Jesus, "King of kings, and Lord of lords."  Only of Jesus may it be said, "Thy Kingdom is a Kingdom of all ages, and Thy Dominion endures throughout all generations."

Whatever the outcome of my praying, my desires, my perceptions as to what is best for, well, anything and anybody, "Jesus Christ is Lord/King."  As the Church in the First Century once said of that which they did not want, "And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, 'The will of the Lord be done.'"  

I affirm the commitment and absolute surrender to the purposes of the Living Triune God as the Hebrews who were threatened by an ancient king of a world power, "Our God is able....Our God will....But if not...."  What about you?

Father, in Jesus' Name, I have been making my petitions and requests known.  I pray that Your, "....Kingdom come.  Your will be done in earth as it is in Heaven."  Amen.

Hebrews 12:2

Prayer For America From Psalm 7

"Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; lift Yourself up because of the rage of [Your] enemies; rise up for [The United States of America] to the judgment You have commanded!...For [Your] sake[], therefore, return on high.  [You] shall judge the peoples....Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for [You], the righteous God, test the hearts and minds.  [America's] defense is of [You], Who saves the upright in heart.  [You are] a just Judge, and [You] are angry with the wicked every day....Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.  He made a pit and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.  His trouble shall return upon his own heart, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.  I WILL PRAISE [YOU] LORD ACCORDING TO [YOUR] RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WILL SING PRAISE TO YOUR NAME MOST HIGH."

I hope that the above prayer will help in some way to express the Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ for the nations.  "The Word of God," our Lord Jesus Christ, declared in Psalm 82 millennia ago, "They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken."  These Words have never more been a description of our Planet that it is in this hour.  

Yet, the Words of, "The Word of God," Himself, are just as much in our hearts, our minds, and keeping us in Jesus as so long ago, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You for Your, "Righteous Right Hand."  Amen.
