tottering kingdoms

The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;

he utters his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord of hosts is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Psalm 46:6-7

Let the world do its worst. Go ahead, ungodly system, and rage against God. Skeptics can scoff. Smug science can think that human ingenuity has all the answers. Aloof academics continue to whistle in the dark calling evil good and indoctrinating the educated against any sense of divinely created order and morality. Your kingdoms are tottering and you are so full of yourselves in your leaning castles that you don’t even know it!

God utters one word, and it all will fall. No system can stand against the one Who by His simple words and will framed the universe that holds us all! God can turn all that you see and know and trust upon against your rebel will whenever He so chooses. You only get to hold on in your lean to of philosophical straw because He graciously allows it to continue. God grunts though... and the earth melts! Nothing in a tottering human hovel will stand when God rules!

This God is for the people that He has called to Himself. He is the God of vast unseen angel armies, just one of whom could bring a nation to its knees. He is with us as surely as He was with Israel in the wilderness. He is our strength, our fortress, our Deliverer, so we need not fear when the doomed princes of tottering kingdoms mock His Son and issue vain threats. They’re on their way down. Jesus Himself shall show them He reigns! And God’s power shall stand. All of this happens by the power of His voice!
