The Ultimate Power Read Hebrews 1:1–2:18 1Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. 3The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 4This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names. 5For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” God also said, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.”Hebrews 1:1-5 The United States of America was established so that people can have a say in how they are governed. But as soon as many of the elected officials take office, it seems that the citizens who elected them can forget about hearing from them until the next election. Perhaps, for most politicians, the will of the people is easier to forget than the power of the press. This confusion of command makes it impossible to know who really is in charge of the country—the people, the politicians, or the media. Many who spend their time trying to figure out who is in control down here overlook the one who is in control of everything—Jesus. In this reading, the writer of Hebrews reminds readers that just because Jesus is seated in heaven does not mean that he is unaware or uninvolved in the events on earth. As you read and think of current events, remember that your sovereign and all-powerful Lord reigns. Sometimes the chaos, violence, immorality, and evil of this world can cloud our vision of Jesus’ reign. Yet Christ does rule in heaven, and everything on earth belongs to him. He is King, even if all his subjects do not yet obey him. This is Christ’s world. He has control of it. If you want to affect the world, talk to Jesus about it. Christ’s reign on earth has not yet begun, but his rule from heaven is no less real. When you are confused by present events and grow anxious about the future, remember Jesus’ true position and authority. He is Lord of all, and one day he will rule on earth as he does now in heaven (see Matthew 6:10). (Source: from ms. @catietan's devotional materials) Good morning everyone here, my fellow sweet and grateful steemians, uloggers and faithful prayer warriors! Today's devotion is all about God's sovereignty and power. I am praying for safety as we travel to Manila today for our Christmas party. I am so tied up with many commitments and I've decided to decline some. I am too limited and attending this party is one of the things I opted to decline but I received a call from our Chief last Wednesday (I was on sick leave due to colds and cough) and so I need to submit to his authority. Another thing is that this coming Sunday, December 16, 2018 will be our elementary batch alumni homecoming. Our zumba dance competition will be in the morning. Then another reunion highschool batch this coming December 30, 2018 and our batch (1993) is the host for this year. We have tickets to sell and more. I feel so stressed and I don't know how. And now I'm going to Manila and be home hopefully tomorrow evening. I feel physically weak for this long travel. ***"Sometimes the chaos, violence, immorality, and evil of this world can cloud our vision of Jesus’ reign. Yet Christ does rule in heaven, and everything on earth belongs to him. He is King, even if all his subjects do not yet obey him. This is Christ’s world. He has control of it."*** This devo is very timely because I am reminded to look up to God and focus on His sovereignty and not on my own strength. ***"If you want to affect the world, talk to Jesus about it. Christ’s reign on earth has not yet begun, but his rule from heaven is no less real. When you are confused by present events and grow anxious about the future, remember Jesus’ true position and authority. He is Lord of all, and one day he will rule on earth as he does now in heaven (see Matthew 6:10)."*** I really needed this encouragement because I'm getting grumpy and impatient due to the many things to be done. God is always good and true to His promises. I need to go and bye for now. Until my next post. Merry Christmas everyone! :-)❤️ Good Friday morning everyone & back to using the onscreen keyboard. :-)❤️ Please check this link and join our prayer warriors here in steemit https://steemit.com/christian-trail/@wilx/christians-on-steemit-let-us-follow-and-support-each-other-pt-7-join-the-christian-trail I am @sashley a.k.a. shirleynpenalosa, a recipient of God's love, mercy and grace. https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmcTjT35nrHXa8GRu4hLGNM84ct7sjZL2Q73gwz7cDQcdP Have a blessed and happy month of December 2018 everyone :-)❤️ I am forever grateful to God every day of my life for giving me everything that I need and praise Him all the more for not giving me everything I want.
