God is Higher

   Have you ever thought about how medieval kingdoms were established and expanded. Most people would say that the king is the most responsible for being established on the throne. They are the ones who take charge over everyone in the kingdom, they lead armies to expand into territories and conquer that land, and they are proclaimed around the nations. 


   This reminds us that God "The Mighty Ruler" established a kingdom through his son Jesus Christ. A kingdom that people believe that is surrounded by clouds, harps, angels, pearly gates, and more. We don't know if those mental images are true because we haven't been to heaven to experience it.


  There are many names to describe God, but I will name a few. First, God is eternal. In Deuteronomy 33:7a it quotes, "The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. God is the Alpha and the Omega, he has lived forever even before the world was made. Second, God is self-sufficient and self-existent. In Colossians 1:16 it says, "for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him." God is alive in everyone today through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit moves through us, so we can do great things for Him. Finally, God is love. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God loves us so much that he sent his Son to die on the cross for our transgressions, and he rose again on third day so we can be in Heaven with him. 


   These are just a few of many names that to describe God. God governs our lives in everyday life and we need to be shining lights for him. There is a song that talks about how that nothing is over God and that song is called No One Higher/The Stand by Steve Fee.


  This verse goes like this,
 "There is no one higher no one greater no one like our God

  There is none more able Christ our Savior great and glorious"

This verse is definitely true because God should be above everything in our lives. He created us to live a life according to his purpose and to be children of him. 

  The chorus of this songs speaks to me and it says,

"So i'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
 In awe of the one who gave it all
 I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrendered all I am is Yours"

   
   We as Christians need to step up and have in faith in him that he is the God that we talk, pray, praise, and do wonderful magnificent things for Him. We need to devote our life to him every single day.

So remember that our God needs to be in control of our lives. If he is, God will do great things in the present and in the future. 

Lyrics to Steve Fee's song : "No One Higher/The Stand"

There is no one higher no one greater no one like our God
There is none more able Christ our Savior great and glorious

So i'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the one who gave it all
I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrendered all I am is Yours
