Freed and God Reigns

About slightly more than a month ago, I got a new Galaxy S3 Smartphone. I was taking my time to setup the phone and download some apps that I commonly use. One of the Apps the I was downloading and use is YouVersion Bible. When I first launch on Sunday morning, the daily devotion verse the pop up was Roman 8:1-2.

Romans 8:1-2 (Deliverance from Bondage)
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Then as I was attending Service on Sunday, one of the songs sung was:

GOD YOU REIGN

Verse 1
You paint the night.
You count the stars and You call them by name.
The skies proclaim, "God, You reign."
Your glory shines.
You teach the sun when to bring a new day.
Creation sings, "God, You reign."

Chorus 1
God, You reign.
God, You reign.
Forever and ever,
God, You reign.

Verse 2
You part the seas.
You move the mountains With the words that You say.
My song remains, "God, You reign."
You hold my life.
You know my heart and You call me by name.
I live to say, "God, You reign."

Bridge
Hallelujah! Hallelu!
Hallelujah! Hallelu!


Now, from the time when I started announcing my condition, Rom 8:1-2 was "given" to me several times and on Sunday morning, it reminded me of my last blog on "Christ and Cancer. It reaffirmed my beliefs that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death. Therefore, my fresh and body may be corrupt due to Adam's original sin but I am no longer enslaved and are set free for now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

When God You Reign was sung during Sunday service, it reminded me again of an earlier blog "Confessing God's healing or Seeking God's Sovereignty". Nothing happened by chance as God is in control of everything, even when "nothing" happen, God is the one that make sure nothing happens. Therefore in this regards, I find the "coincident" to be uncanny for it reaffirms my stand on seeking God's sovereignty first and foremost. God created the heaven and earth, He created the stars, He parted the seas and walked on water. God is sovereign and He reigns.

When I combine these two thoughts together, Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death, God is sovereign and He reigns and therefore is on control of everything. As such, my life is completely in His hands to do as He pleases, to destine my life according to His will but I also have the assurance of been freed from condemnation under the law, By Christ's sacrifice, I enter into the holy of holies and there I seek the Lord, to worship and enquire of His will and ask for His healing.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

In God I Trust
