The Lord Almighty reigns is the declaration of heaven (Revelation 19:6)! Right now, right where you are, think about that for a moment. Our God, enthroned on high, reigns. When you observe the decaying “morals” of our society, when you look at the scandals and corruption in high places, and when your heart breaks over the thousands of babies who are murdered every single day in this nation, it doesn’t seem like God is reigning does it? But the timeframe of our study this week is at the end of this age, as we know it. And despite all of the devastation that takes place on earth during the great tribulation period, the heavenly group of elders declare that The Lord Almighty reigns (Revelation 11:17).

The theme of this passage in Colossians is submission, a far cry from the American ideals of personal freedom, liberation, and choice. But submission is not the tyrannical concept most of us harbor in our minds. Rather, it is freedom! It is a form of respect, which allows us to be free and to have the best flowing in and out of us. It is a safe harbor of smooth waters protecting us from the storms of wrong actions. It frees us from bad thinking that leads to bad choices which, in turn, lead to a life of misery and trouble.
