Greetings in the Most Holy Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Well, 2009 is upon us. My, how time flies! You certainly do not need for me to tell you that we are living in trying times of uncertainty. Between the stock market, gasoline prices, mortgage foreclosures, the recent elections, and the wars, it's enough to make you just sit down and ask, "Lord, what in the world is going on? Are you even in control any more?" It's almost as though God just wound the universe up like a pocket watch and then tossed it out into the black abyss and sat back to watch it unwind and well, whatever happens, happens.
I want to assure you today that God is still in control and on the throne. Nations have come and gone. Presidents and kings have come and gone. Financial collapses have come and gone. But God is still on the high throne of the Heaven ruling and reigning supreme. If God were not in control we would have no hope whatsoever. There was an old English hymn, part of the words which read, "All my times are in Thy hands, ordered by Thy wise commands."
There is one king who has remained down through the ages. No tyrant has been able to topple him. No murderer has been able to asassinate him and keep him in the grave. No financial crisis has ever dried up his resources. His wealth is unlimited. He knows each of his subjects by name and even numbers the hairs on their head. That king is of course, Jesus Christ. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
If you are struggling right now, do not lose hope. Do not despair. Jesus is still on the throne. I invite you to join us at Church of the Trinity. You'll find a group of ordinary folks who also face daily struggles, and who, with the grace and help of God are meeting them head on. And yes, we often fall in the struggle, but thanks be to God our King is there to pick us help and give us the strength to move on.
Your servant by the Grace and Mercy of God,
Mark+
