Psalm 45
There are different ideas about this psalm. Some suggest that it is simply a song written for the wedding of a king. Others suggest it is totally Messianic and refers to Jesus (groom) and the church (His bride). Regardless of which it is (or maybe it’s both), this verse remains the same: “Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.” (vs 6)
When I read the news, when I see the things that are happening in this world, I think we can’t be reminded too often that God is on His throne and His throne isn’t going anywhere. Especially in a world where things are transient and change every day, it is a great comfort to me to know that God is a solid foundation. He is not in danger of being swept away by evil.

Fortunately for us, worldly governments come and go. Dictators rise and fall; kingdoms come to power and eventually crumble; even United States Presidents cannot rule indefinitely. But God’s kingdom will never be destroyed. Nobody established His throne—it has always been there, and it will always be there. No matter what happens in our lives, God is a sure thing. He’s not going anywhere.
