God Save the Queen.

Stan Boelman, missionary in England posted this on Sunday on his Facebook page:

Happy Coronation anniversary to the Queen. 60 years ago today, Elizabeth was crowned as "Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith, Duchess of Edinburgh, Countess of Merioneth, Baroness Greenwich, Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Mann, Duke of Normandy, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Garter, Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, Sovereign of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Sovereign of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Sovereign of the Distinguished Service Order, Sovereign of the Imperial Service Order, Sovereign of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, Sovereign of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Sovereign of the Order of British India, Sovereign of the Indian Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of Burma, Sovereign of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, Sovereign of the Royal Family Order of King Edward VII, Sovereign of the Order of Merit, Sovereign of the Order of the Companions of Honour, Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order, Sovereign of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem." God save the Queen.

That's quite a list of titles.

I suppose there are people who know what they all mean. Talk about wearing a lot of hats.

And 60 years is a long time for her to hold all those positions. Not many of us have held any job for 60 years.

But it made me think of another sovereign.

That would be "Sovereign" with a capital "S."

The Queen of England does deserve respect because of her position and her title.

But God is sovereign over her.

In fact, God is sovereign over the whole universe. From the massive amounts of empty space to the subatomic particles. He's in control over all of those.

No one crowned Him to be sovereign. He didn't inherit the title. He didn't defeat any enemies to gain the throne.

He has always been and always will be sovereign.

So while we may celebrate the Queen of England's 60 year reign, let's not to celebrate and submit to our Sovereign Lord (Psalm 93).
