Dear Friends, A friend of mine sent me this. I am passing this along to you all. rick/eagle feather From: John Kovach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Lord reigns. Where does he rule? Over whom does he have dominion? Over me? Over you? Over my friends? Over my enemies? He is clothed. He is not naked as we are. He will never be naked because he clothes himself. And what is the clothing he wears that we can see? It is the clothing of strength and majesty. But where does he reign? Where is his dominion? He established the world. But what world? The word means not just the earth, but that which inhabits the earth. Surely one can rule over nature, but how can he rule over all peoples, especially when not everyone bows the knee? We know the habitation of earth will last forever, even though the earth passes away and is recreated as a new earth along with a new heaven. The habitation of earth is everlasting because he went to prepare a dwelling for those who would receive him. There is also a place of everlasting habitation for those who did not. His throne, his dominion has been established a long time ago. Nothing can change that. It was from the beginning before anything else once. It began from everlasting, so how can anything change it? Yes there are floods of mighty waters that roar and lift themselves up and threaten to overwhelm that habitation. They make a noise. You can hear it. The boat rocks; it pitches and yaws. But guess what? It is the Lord who stands in the boat. Why are you afraid? He can calm the waves. He is mightier than the waves. His word speaks louder than the sound of their roaring. His words are �be still,� and all is quiet. His words are true like a perfect arrow that always hits the very center of the target. His house is a house of holiness forever. Give me holiness, Lord, that I may dwell in your presence forever. You are Lord over me, and over all that I perceive as problems. Help me surrender my life, my thoughts and my days to you, to the one who is clothed in majesty, to the one who is strong, to the one who rules over all. I cannot do it on my own. Jesus is in the boat. God Bless, John --------- End forwarded message ---------- ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
