Despite all we are going thru in this post election turmoil, God is omnipotent, as we believers say. Do I always behave like that truth steers my life? I could confess, no, not always. God help me to live so, that I trust solely in you, by your Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus, for your grace.

I love that He sits on His throne and and Jesus sits at His mighty and strong right hand! A Vision of God's Throne in Heaven 4 After these things I saw a door standing open in heaven. I heard the first voice like a trumpet speaking to me. It said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this." 2 Instantly, I came under the Spirit's power. I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was sitting on it. 3 The one sitting there looked like gray quartz and red quartz. There was a rainbow around the throne which looked like an emerald. 4 Around that throne were 24 other thrones, and on these thrones sat 24 leaders wearing white clothes. They had gold crowns on their heads. 5 Lightning, noise, and thunder came from the throne. Seven flaming torches were burning in front of the throne. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 In front of the throne, there was something like a sea of glass as clear as crystal. In the center near the throne and around the throne were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like a young bull, the third had a face like a human, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and were covered with eyes, inside and out. Without stopping day or night they were singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is coming." 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, to the one who lives forever and ever, 10 the 24 leaders bow in front of the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever. They place their crowns in front of the throne and say, 11 "Our Lord and God, you deserve to receive glory, honor, and power because you created everything. Everything came into existence and was created because of your will."

When some tragedy happens people often ask where was God? The answer is He was seated on His holy throne. God is in complete control over His universe. Nothing surprises Him! There is always peace at His throne. Knowing that God is on His throne should bring comfort to our hearts when we are facing a trial. We know that He not only knows about our lives but He has a plan. We need to learn to trust Him and remember our God reigns!
