“You, O LORD, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.” – Lamentations 5:19
With a population of more than 68 million people, the United Kingdom (UK) is the 21st largest country in the world. The UK is made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The population in the UK is getting older with 18% aged 65 and over and 2.4% aged 85 and over.
Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne on 6 February 1952 following the death of her father King George VI. She is the 4th longest-reigning monarch in history. If she is still reigning by the fall of 2022, she will have surpassed two other monarchs and be the second longest-reigning ruler in history.
For more than 80% of the United Kingdom, she is the only monarch they have ever known.
There is a King whose reign is eternal. Jesus Christ reigns through all of the ages. Today in prayer, give thanks to the Lord that His throne endures from generation to generation.
"God, who is eternal, infinite, supremely mighty, does great and unfathomable things in heaven and in earth, and there is no understanding his wonderful works. If the works of God could easily be grasped by human understanding they could not be called wonderful or too great for words." - Thomas à Kempis
God’s Word: “Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” – Psalm 90:2
