Rule From the Seat | Authority Operates From Rest
God does not rule from reaction.
He governs from position.
Scripture tells us we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. That means authority is not something you chase. It is something you occupy. You are not fighting for a seat at the table. You are ruling from one already given.
Many believers live from urgency instead of position. They rush to fix, respond, and prove. But authority does not flow from panic. It flows from alignment. You sit before you speak. You remember where you are before you move.
When you forget your seat, you overreact. When you remember your seat, you govern with clarity.
Rest is not passivity. It is confidence in position. Judges do not pace the courtroom. They sit. Heaven does not scramble. It rules.
If today feels chaotic, pause before responding. Check your posture first. Respond from who you are in Christ, not from what you feel in the moment.
Seating precedes ruling.
Rest clarifies judgment.
Alignment sustains authority.
Sit first.
Then rule.
