THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNETH .

 

December 1

 

Revelation 19:6 

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude,

and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of

mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia:

 for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 

 
Our God is the author of all good, the only object religious worship and fear, the infinite, all-controlling Being.
 
He can do all things, and do all things with ease - swiftness - certainty - and precision.
 
He is on the throne, - His reign is merciful - just - glorious.
 
He reigns universally over every empire - kingdom - state - parish - person - thing.
 
Everything that takes place is either appointed or permitted by Him.
 
Everything is overruled; for nothing escaped His notice - frustrates His purpose - or disorganize His plans.
 
All things are tributary, and bring honour to His name.
 
Does the Lord God Omnipotent reign? - then let us fear to offend Him;
aim to please Him well in all things;
trust in an rely on Him;
call upon and prove Him;
live in the daily remembrance of His reign;
this will conquer fear - prevent sins - strengthen faith - nourish all the graces of the Spirit - and inspirit us in our obedience.
 
If the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, be sure He will take care of His children.
 
He will manage all their affairs.
 
He will secure all their best interests.
 
 

Behold the King of Zion rise

To endless glory in the skies!

Hail, Fount of blessings! - place in Thee

Our life, our strength, our all, we see;

While in thy God thy joys endure,

In Thee our blessings rest secure.
