a good perspective on THE PRESENT WORLD CHAOS and the UNCHANGING CHARACTER OF GOD

Steve Lawson says this so well:

Commenting on Psalm 96:10 — Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity."

"All believers should declare that God rules over all the affairs of men. In spite of any chaotic appearances to the contrary, in spite of the turmoil and threats of the nations, the world is firmly established. All events and developments are under the overruling government of God. Although evil temporarily escapes unpunished, God will judge the peoples with equity. This final judgment of all mankind should be declared to the nations (Acts 17:31), bringing about their repentance unto eternal life. Such a proclamation will surely yield new worshippers of God" (Lawson, Psalms 75-150, Holman Old Testament Commentary, 118).
