If I were to pray to God and say that I need help but I know that sometimes shame is necessary, would I be acknowledging that I live in God's kingdom? If God has created the earth, do you think He would be distant in responding to its evils? How can God give man the authority over creation and then fail in governing it? This would not only show that God's word is not dependable, but also that He does not care for His prized creation. However, God's word and care are on display precisely BECAUSE HE IS GOD and it's His creation!When the Psalmist speaks of God's responsibility for governing the world, they are always speaking in absolute terms. We are not praying on the foundation that we are left by God to deal with a world that opposes God, but rather we are pronouncing the terms of the creation covenant. By doing so, we are reestablishing our authority on the earth in covenant with God!Although there may be those on earth whose words are like gold, they are not human. We must come to grips with the fact that we exist within a timeline that is controlled by a Being who exists outside of time. This Being is not restricted by anything that is bound by the constraints of time. Would we be able to respect a God who was not able to complete His work due to the limitations of this world? If He is sovereign, do you think He would give us His word with the same restrictions? Absolutely not! The axioms are eternal pronouncements from God that cannot be thwarted.
