The Throne of God

Scripture:

Lamentations 5:19  "Thou, O Jehovah, abidest forever; Thy throne is from generation to generation".

Observation:

In the midst of a lament, we read the words, "Thy throne is from generation to generation".  The author realized that lamenting lasts for a while, but God's throne is permanently positioned and is not going anywhere.

Application:

When we go through trying times, we must remember that our God is faithful and eternal.  He isn't going anywhere tomorrow because of stress today.  He abides forever and nothing will make that go away.  We must trust God more.  He has been around the block a few times and knows what is best for us.  His throne is fixed in heaven and He will rule forever.  We can trust in this.

Prayer:

Father, You are forever and Your throne is from generation to generation.  There has never been a generation when you were off your throne.  There has never been a time when you were out of a position of power.  Help me to trust You more and not to get burdened down by the temporary things of this life.

Your Son,
Jeff
