Great comfort and strength, stability and security, is provided for our souls when we recognize that our God is King of the universe, and we praise Him for that. Chaos and destruction has been absolutely defeated and continues to be controlled by the Almighty God who loves us. The formlessness and emptiness of Genesis 1:2 has been formed and filled and ordered by our Creator; and as Absolute King, He still maintains and firmly establishes order, predictability, and meaning in our lives and the world we inhabit.
Our spiritual enemies (sin death, devil) are daily seeking to return the world (and our personal lives) to chaos and destruction. But our King says, “Thus far and no farther.” God be praised: for we know with absolute certainty that raging seas will never over flood us that we could lose life with God forever; nor will we ever lose anything important.
In addition, our Supreme Commander and Majestic King has given us testimonies (decrees, commandments) that are very sure indeed. This universal Moral Law holds life together, keeps chaos at bay, and brings innumerable blessings. The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to give the power to live a blessed and abundant life according to it.
