God Reigns

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. — Psalm 47:8 

God reigns over my nation and yours.

He rules over all nations.

After all, He created every one of them.

And He cares about the people in each nation.

He lives in heaven.

And is seated on His holy throne.

Jesus is seated at His right hand.

Our mediator between us and God.

And our Savior!

God Reigns

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. — Psalm 47:8

Today is Cinco de Mayo!

God reigns over the nations.

God is seated on His holy throne.

He is glorified.

We worship His name.

Last night our cousin Rick and his son Chase joined us for dinner with Chase's fiancee Tory.

We had a fun time catching up over lasagna and caesar salad.

Kel joined us too.

God reigns.

Let the earth rejoice!

 

God Raised Us Up

God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. — Ephesians 2:6 

God raised us up with Christ.

He seated us with Him in the heavenly realm.

He gives us passage to live with him in heaven.

We are blessed.

Raised with Christ

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. — Colossians 3:1

This week we have been praying for my friend Mari and her family.

She has down in Guadalupe visiting relatives.

Her  uncle Rito has been very sick.

He was hospitalized and intubated.

They removed the tube, but he has been suffering from kidney disease.

Then the doctors discovered an infection in his lungs.

Today he died, even after all the care he was getting.

The family is now grieving for his loss. 

Jesus is welcoming him into heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Still, it is hard to lose a loved one.

My prayers continue for Mari and Bogar and the family as they mourn.

Jesus knows their suffering.
