For some of us, it’s hard to tell who’s winning when we turn on the news it feels like the world is on fire. One headline says progress, the next says chaos. One day it’s hope, the next it’s heartbreak. Political tension is rising, nations are at odds, the economy feels unstable, and society is more divided than ever. Fear is in the air. Confusion is on every channel. It’s easy to start wondering, “Who’s really in charge of all this?” But let me remind you of a truth that transcends every headline: God is still in control.
He’s not pacing the floors of heaven. He’s not reacting to breaking news. He’s not shaken by political and economic turbulence, social disparities, or global unrest. Psalm 103:19 declares, “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all.” That means over presidents, world leaders, and protests. Over wars and rumors of war. Over systems and structures. His rule is not up for vote or viral support, and His authority is not on a countdown.
As believers, we don’t place our ultimate hope in policies, parties, or powerful people—we place our hope in the unshakable, unchanging reign of God. Isaiah 9:6 calls Jesus the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” And His government—unlike any earthly government—will never fail, never fall, and never fade.
So my beloved brothers and sisters, breathe. Rest your mind. Guard your heart. Don’t let the chaos of this world drown out the confidence you have in the Kingdom. God isn’t just watching history unfold—He’s still orchestrating it. He’s immutably sovereign, transcendently strategic, and still working all things together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
Pray with me:
Father God, when the world feels out of control, remind me that You are still seated on the throne. Help me to anchor my trust in Your sovereignty, not in systems, policies, or circumstances. Give me peace in the midst of the storm, and boldness to live as a light in uncertain times. Let me not be consumed by fear or distracted by noise, but rooted in faith that You are still working, still reigning, and still in control. As Colossians 1:17 says, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Lord, hold me together when everything around me feels like it’s falling apart. Hold my mind steady. Hold my spirit firm. I trust that because You hold all things, I am unwaveringly held secure in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
