You remain the same,
and your years will never end.
—Psalm 102:27
Inner peace flows from faith in God’s sovereignty—from confidence that he is in control of what has happened, is happening, and will happen. “God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end” (Ps 48:14).
He “is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb 13:8). Empires come and go. So do people. God is forever.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” (Rv 22:13).
God ruled the past, rules the present, and will rule the future. “I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no other God” (Is 44:6).
Let us join in praise: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” (Rv 4:8).
God is in control.
Everything is going to be all right.
