"God Is King"

Psalms 47 [To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.] God is in charge, no matter what the devil might think, or anyone else for that matter; God is the one that is ultimately in control, because He is King. Much like any kingdom, there are always some that are under the kings rule that just don't do what they are meant to do, or what the king has asked them to do; however, in the kingdom of God there is one very huge difference, which is, God knows everything that goes on in His kingdom. He sees all and He knows all, so no one can do anything without Him knowing; which actually means, no one can do anything without His permission, or Him allowing it to happen. Which might be the reason so many people get upset with God when they see someone they love suffer, because He could stop it, and He surely knows that it is happening; yet He allows it to continue, because He works through our tribulations and our difficult trials. The harder the trial, the more powerful the result, and the more He gets the glory. I know there are some who may disagree with the logic, but if God is in control, and He is on our side, then doesn't it seem logical that He knows what is best for us? I don't know what I would be, or where I would be if God did not allow my wife to be in the condition she is in; we could have been divorced by now, for all I know; our marriage was good, but it wasn't perfect. One thing is for sure, I would not have learned how to seriously love her if this had not happened. Sometimes I think love needs to yearn for someone in order to be fully felt; in other words, the desire to express love is far more powerful than the desire to receive it. Take our love for God as an example; God freely has given us all of His love, so the desire we might have to receive it is not really the issue, because He has freely given it to us; but the expression of our love for Him, when it is expressed, oh how powerful it is to know that we are loved, words cannot say enough to express our love for God, when we actually desire to express it... "Having therefore, brethren, a boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh; and having a High Priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised; and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:19-25)
