At our church we have “blended” worship.  That means that we sing old hymns and newer praise choruses.  Many times they are blended into one song.  Today it was All Hail the Power of Jesus Name and Lord of All.  Both hit me in a powerful way.  I was reminded that angels fall prostrate at the name of Jesus because he is crowned Lord of All.  That means Lord of our country, and the election next week.  That means, Lord of our schools and our homes.  He is Lord of the church. 

It does not matter if we agree that he is Lord…he just is.  We may not be able to see his Lordship in the politics of our country but that is of no consequence to him.  He is Lord even when things don’t make sense to us…like when you have cancer.  He is Lord over my cells, my chemo, my infections and my hair loss.  I do not see with his eyes, so to me it is difficult to understand these things.  After all his ways are not my ways.  Ultimately, I will be glad of that…when I can see his ways clearly.  Until then trust is the order of the day.  Can I trust his ways?  Can I let him be Lord over ALL that comes into my life?  Can you?  All Hail the Power of Jesus Name…
