"God Is Still On The Throne"


 

Hello John and Doves,

As we have entered unprecedented times, I am reminded of what Noah Hutchings said at the start of his radio broadcasts - I can hear his voice now - "God is still on the throne....."

He was the president of Southwest Radio Church Ministries.  An amazing man.  A wonderful Christian.

As we experience all the fallout brought about by this new coronavirus, please keep these words in mind.

God is still on the throne!

May His will be done.  The prophets have warned us:  Judgment is coming! 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

Maranatha!

Reminds me of the song with this title.  These words are most comforting - youtube link with lyrics below.

God Is Still On The Throne

1) Have you started for glory and heaven,
Have you left this old world far behind;
In your heart is the Comforter dwelling,
Can you say, "Praise the Lord, He is mind"'
Have the ones that once walked on the highway,
Gone back, and you seem all alone?
Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies.
God is still on the throne.

Chorus:

God is still on the throne,
And He will remember His own;
Though trials may press us and burdens distress us,
He never will leave us alone;
God is still on the throne,
He never forsaketh His own;
His promise is true, He will not forget you,
God is still on the throne.

2) Burdened soul, is your heart growing weary
With the toil and the heat of the day;
Does it seem that your path is more thorny
As you journey along on life's way?
Go away and in secret before Him
Tell your grief to the Savior alone;
He will lighten your care, for He still answers prayer;
God is still on the throne.

3) You may live in a tent or a cottage,
Unnoticed by those who pass by;
But a mansion for you He is building
In that beautiful city on high;
It will outshine the wealth and the splendor
Of the rightest on earth we have known;
He's the architect true, and He's building for you;
God is still on the throne.

4) He is coming for you, is the promise
To disciples when He went away;
In like manner as he was gone from you
You will see Him returning some day;
Does His tarrying cause you to wonder,
Does it seem Hes' forgotten His own?
His promise is true, He is coming for you;
God is still on the throne.
