He Reigns
By: Sheila Sonon
Revelation 19:6 (NLT): “Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.”
I’ll be honest—every time I try to figure out Revelation, I feel like I just dumped a whole bucket of nuts and bolts out on the workbench. I’m standing there like, “Well… this all belongs together, but I sure don’t see how.” You’ve got angels, trumpets, creatures, crowds shouting, and Jesus riding in like the King of everything. Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to remember if I unplugged my straightening iron an hour into my work day.
Because right in the middle of all that, Scripture gives us something simple: God reigns.
Now here’s where it gets real for everyday life. We’re called to be in the Word daily—learning it, repeating it, carrying it with us like we learned our ABCs. Line by line, verse by verse, it becomes part of how we think and speak. But let’s be honest—just because you can say a verse doesn’t mean you understand it.
God’s Word isn’t just something we store in our heads—it’s something alive that works on our hearts. A verse you learned ten years ago might hit completely different today. Why? Because you’ve changed. You’ve been through more, seen more, carried more. But while your life keeps shifting, God never does.
His truth stays steady, even when our understanding grows.
So yeah—study your Bible. Repeat it. Learn it like second nature. But don’t stop there. Let it sink in. Let it shape you. Let it meet you where you are today—not where you used to be.
At the end of the day, you don’t need to solve every mystery in Revelation or life. You just need to hold onto what’s clear: God is still on the throne. And He always will be.
