Psalm 22:28-29 RSV
For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. [29] Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive.

Some people think God is up in heaven wringing His hands and spinning around in confusion over the state of the universe He created with added rhetorical exclamations of “Oh dear, what shall I do, how do I fix their mess,” and so many more. Nah! He is not! God is the supreme ruler and authority overall.
Remember Daniel 4:17 and Psalm 47:8? God rules and reigns in the nations and the affairs of mankind. He is the God of the nations, even the lawless and Godless nations. Nothing surprises Him.
Our text illustrates God’s universal righteous government.
God is always in charge. Every nation has a system of election, terms of election and length of service, each electoral candidate is voted for and the majority wins the vote but Psalm 103:19 says that God rules sovereignty over the nations of the world.
In every election, clean or rigged, you find those who don’t vote because they couldn’t make up their minds, those who vote for who they think is best and those who vote, just to vote, not caring who wins.
Sadly, when we don’t exercise our constitutional rights morally and appropriately, the wicked is elevated to power, a power that drives some to become political tyrants according to Proverbs 28:28.
Some may vote while others don’t but ultimately every government is put in place by God according to John 19:11 whilst Romans 13:1b tells us there is no authority except God-given, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
So, if God put the government in their places why are things the way they are and why won’t God do anything about the mess in the world? Simple! Man asked God to stay out of every sphere of society: schools, families, marriages and the judicial system. This is where we all need to be obedient to 1 Timothy 1:2-3 to realign the biblical order in the world.
We ought to pray for those who govern us to lead us aright and not to follow wherever they lead.
The Bible speaks clearly about the relationship between the believer and the government. We are to obey governmental authorities, and the government is to treat us justly and fairly.
It is also important to understand that only God is sovereign, and the role of human government is limited because God has ordained the government, the church and the family to participate in government as they have their authority structures, and the state should only interfere in exceptional circumstances to carry out justice.
No human government would ever fulfil the portrait of a ruler except Jesus who holds the unending government and rule of the world placed on His shoulders, He will eventually bring God’s rule of peace and righteous government to earth according to Isaiah 9:6-8.
Although God has ordained government and its purposes it does not have the solutions for all the problems and troubles in society. God alone is sovereign with the supreme power
Those who govern are fallible people, needing God’s wisdom to govern and have no supreme powers.
Be part of the governing body! Pray for them! God is sovereign but can’t do anything if we do not pray.
Shalom
