Heaven Rules

 Heaven Rules is the title of a new book by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. But long before she wrote this book, this was the clear truth of scripture. 

The book’s title comes from the Old Testament book of Daniel, chapter 4. This chapter tells us the story of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, whose pride had led to his humiliation and judgment by God. After a time, Nebuchadnezzar’s “reason returned to him” (Daniel 4:23 ESV) and he humbled himself and began to praise God.

Nebuchadnezzar’s experience taught him an important lesson. And it’s a lesson we all need to remember.

Heaven Rules

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth has written an excellent book. One I highly recommend to you. For personal reading. Or for personal study. Or for group study. Because the lesson of this book - that Heaven Rules - is a lesson we all need to remember.

Heaven rules. God is sovereign. God is in control. We’re living in crazy times right now, and it often seems that evil is winning. That evil is in control. That’s why this book is so important.

Heaven Rules.

Over Covid.

Over Cancer.

Over politics. And politicians.

Over health issues and insurance issues.

Over the good days and the bad days and all the in between days.

When I am loved and accepted and understood. And when I’m not.

To quote from Wolgemuth, “By Heaven Rules, of course, I mean “God rules”. The God of Heaven rules. He rules over every tide of history, every king and kingdom, over every activity we undertake, over every person and part of His creation. “Heaven Rules” is a right-sized truth - putting our view of God, our view of ourselves, and our view of the world in proper perspective. It’s truth meant to instill healthy fear within every proud heart that aims to be its own ruler and that believes we humans can control our own direction or destiny.”

Two simple words. Heaven Rules.

Read the book. Read Daniel 4. And be encouraged. God is in control.
