"The Lord of all lords!"

"O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever." (Psalms 136:3)

  For the moment, this is the third verse that speaks about how God is good in Himself; in other words, we need to worship and adore Him for the simple fact that He is God, the Lord our God! Be it whatever else you want to think, whether you are in the valley or high on the mountain top, God is the one that has ultimate control over everything, and He is great and good! That means that we don't need to worry about anything, as long as He is the Lord of our life: If God be for us, who can be against us! That is the actual meaning of "Lord" in this verse, that He is Master and we are His servants. All this talk about who has it better than someone else, whether it is about white verses black, or rich verses poor; if you are a servant of the Lord, you are better off than anyone that is not His servant, no matter what class or race of people you belong to. If you get right down to it, our home is in heaven, where the Lord has prepared a place for us, for eternity; this life, no matter what it might be, is but for a brief moment; compared to eternity, it is not even a speck or blip on a radar screen. The real question we need to ask ourselves, is whether or not we believe it? Well, do you? If the Bible is true, and the words that are written within it are true, then you had better believe it is so! There is just no other way to compare what is true or false, without first becoming His servant. But once you have been added to the household of the Lord, words cannot express the reality of how it feels to have peace, to be able to rejoice, and to know that you are loved...

"Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have confessed so well before many witnesses. And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you obey this commend without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. For at just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of kings, and Lord of all lords. He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen." (1 Timothy 6:12-16) NLT
