God’s In Charge!
"And He has made from one blood every nation of men to
dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their
preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings."
Acts 17: 26
A large log was swept from the bank of a fast-flowing river and is
hurtling through the rapids. (The log is our world.) On the log
are
thousands of tiny ants, all think they are in control of the log.
(We are the ants.)
Is anything more absurd than for a tiny ant to think it's in charge
of a giant log that's careening on the waves of a raging river? And
yet, men and women often think that we can change the outcome
of this tumultuous world and bring it safely to what we think is
the
best outcome.
The Bible states the obvious opposite: This world belongs to God,
and God alone is able to work out His purposes for the world He
created. The ancients believed God ruled over all (Deuteronomy
32:8; Job 12:23) as did the prophets (Daniel 2:20-22) and the
apostles (Acts 17:26).
Don’t let the tumult in our world create fear in your heart.
God has been, is, and will remain on the throne ruling His
creation.
"Nothing is beyond [God’s] control….
The Bible is clear that God is in control
of everything that happens."
