Thurs Devo: Jesus Reigns!

Often it is hard for me to keep it in perspective that this life isn’t all there is. Jesus will return, destroy evil, judge the ungodly, reward believers, and righteously reign for all eternity! 
Revelation 11:15-19  15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
    the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,
    and he will reign for ever and ever.”
16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,17 saying:
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were angry,
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.
Evil seems to prevail now, the ungodly rewarded and believers oppressed, but that will all change in a moment.

Do you and I think others are thwarting God? Or do you and I truly believe God will reign forever? How will you and I let that change our perspective on life today?
