‘The
Lord reigns’(Psalm 96:10; Psalm 97:1). ‘The Lord is King!’. He is not
only ‘the King all-glorious above’. He is ‘the King of love’. He is ‘our
Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend!’. He is not only ‘the King of
heaven’. He is ‘the God of grace’. He is ‘the King of mercy’(Church Hymnary,
35,36,388,360,86). His reign is not to be restricted to some faraway
heaven. It is not to be a reign that is far removed from the
practicalities of our everyday life. He is to reign in our hearts.
He is to reign in every part of our life. Let His reign of love begin.
Let His grace and mercy control all that you do. We must pray, ‘Reign in me, Sovereign Lord, reign in me’. When we say, ‘Let Your Kingdom come’ and ‘let Your will be done’, we must pray, ‘Captivate my heart. Establish there Your throne’(Mission Praise, 570).
