Our God is the author of all good, the only object of religious worship and fear, the infinite, all-controlling Being. He can do all things, and do all things with ease, swiftness, and precision.
He is on the throne; His reign is merciful, just, glorious. He reigns universally over every empire, kingdom, state, parish, person, thing. Everything that takes place is either appointed or permitted by Him. Everything is overruled; for nothing escapes His notice, frustrates His purpose, or disorganises His plan. All things are tributary, and bring honour to His name.
Does the Lord God Omnipotent reign? - then let us fear to offend Him; aim to please Him well in all things; trust in and rely on Him; call upon and prove Him; live in the daily remembrance of His reign; this will conquer fear, prevent sins, strengthen faith, nourish all the graces of the Spirit, and inspirit us in our obedience.
If the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, be sure He will take care of His children. He will manage all their affairs. He will secure their best interests.
Behold the King of Zion rise To endless glory in the skies! Hail, Fount of blessings! - placed in Thee, Our life, our strength; our all, we see While in thy God thy joys endure, In Thee our blessings rest secure.
Written by James Smith for his own flock around 1840, but such was the demand that by 1846 over thirty thousand copies where in circulation.
James Smith was a predecessor of Charles Spurgeon at New Park Street Chapel in London from 1841-1850. He also ministered with great blessing in Cheltenham. His devotional, The Believer's Daily Remembrancer, subtitled Pastor's Morning and Evening Visit, was very popular in its own day, and has received a new lease of life through recent republication.
