Psalms 47:8-9
God reigns over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted!

Today I have a very crucial and volatile meeting with 16 superintendents in the state. Two of the 16 are at each other's throats and have lost all respect. In the room there represents a regional educational leadership capacity, paid at over $1,000,000 plus in salaries and benefits. They are the rulers of their districts in regard to educational decisions. They are the "shields of the earth." However, they are NOT God. God is the ruler of the earth and He plants and exalts. These 16 are where they are because God put them there. Note what the Psalmist already wrote:
Psalms 22:27-28
All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
For kingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
I could fear, and often do fear, what these leaders can do to each other and to the collective impact on the education of children. However, I shouldn't fear. God is on the throne and He is in charge. My trust is in God and in His holy, just, sovereign rule!!!
