A Crucial Vision For The New Year

"In comparison with the kings of the earth. We read of Alexander the Great, of Constantine the Great, and Frederick the Great, but, verily, in comparison with the God of heaven, their greatness dwindles into insignificance - dwindles into nothing! Have they thrones? Their thrones are upon the earth; God's throne is in the heavens, 'high above all height.' Have they robes? God's robes are light and majesty. Have they pavilions? He stretcheth forth the heavens as His pavilion, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. Have they chariots? He maketh the clouds His chariot - He walked upon the wings of the wind. Have they kingdoms? The whole universe is God's kingdom, and literally He ruleth over all." (The Biblical Illustrator)
