The One Majestic Ruler of All

Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:9

New International Version (NIV)

There is no earthly power that comes close to our Sovereign God. To place our complete trust and faith in some monarch, president, caliph, pope, or any other leader of world or religious affairs is foolish. Humans are below God as is all of the creation of the Almighty Creator. Worshipping temporal entities or even the elements that have existed for eons makes no sense when considered from the aspect of spiritual logic.

There is one God, one Creator, and one Holy of all Holies. If you are worshipping anyone or anything else then you are worshipping passing fancy and meaningless exultation. Who do you hold on high? Will that "god" be around tomorrow? A million years from now? Has that "god" answered any of your prayers? Comforted you in your times of greatest need?

Consult the Holy Bible with your mind and heart open. You can find answers. And if the One Holy Lord God is with you then you will find answers. This is the greatest logic for those who have found true wisdom.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:24-25

The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.

Psalm 14:1

New International Version (NIV)

We are not to judge the unbelievers, but to love them and pray for them. Since the earliest days of history as we see recorded in the Bible humans have had a tendency to fall away from the One True God of Creation in order to worship false gods or no god. They have that right to believe as they wish. Their rebellion against God the Father will seal their fates in the end if that is what they wish to adhere.

And before we condemn their sin remember that we are all sinners (Romans 3:23). We in belief are not better than they are. We are all God's children and equal in his eyes. God wants the unbelievers to come to Him and to love Him, but he will not exert his force to make them his.

We may have a right to unbelief, but we are wrong in doing so. Jesus can disrupt relationships between those who differ regarding what they believe and don't believe, but Jesus can also heal those relationships when we ask for healing.

Pray for the unbelievers and love them just as you would love those who believe the same as you believe.

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
