Confronting the “The Powers That Be”

HEBREWS 1:10-14

He [God] also says, “In the beginning, Lord [Jesus], you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”

To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

Thank you for your response. ✨

“Oh Lord, my God, this world is becoming an increasingly confusing and frightening place. And I am tempted, at times, to let my heart become filled with terror, with anxiety, with fear, and worry. I know that, when I experience those moments, it’s because I’ve forgotten that the tomb is still empty and the throne is still occupied; and just Who it is that sits upon that throne. Lord Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords, ultimate authority and ruler of heaven and earth, I prayer that you not let me succumb to the trauma that an increasingly godless society seeks to inculcate upon me and those that I love; but that You will gently remind me and reassure my heart that, no matter the extent to which the evil of this world rages around me, YOU are still in control, that nothing happens apart from your divine permission, and that you will cause all things to work together for my good, and for the good of all those who love You. Draw me close, Oh Lord, and keep me walking close to You, sustained by the faith in my heart and Your love for me.
