This Is Our Confidence!
"But there is a
God in heaven."
Daniel 2: 28
Everyday, the world is unraveling, becoming more
frayed and afraid,
more unstable and unsteady. We
hear of wars and rumors of war, of false christs, of
famines, of earthquakes, and of pestilences.
But there is a God in heaven.
We needn’t pace the floor at night or run
around in a frenzy. We shouldn’t faint,
fear, or fret. There is a God in heaven.
Daniel, too, lived in a churning world of change,
empires rising and falling. His own nation, Israel,
was wiped off the earth like a stain. But Daniel’s
spirit remained steady because he
understood
the sovereign providence of the God of heaven.
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,”
he wrote, “for wisdom and might are His. And He
changes the times and the seasons; He removes
kings and raises up kings…. The Most High
rules
in the kingdom of men” (Daniel 2:20-21; 4:17).
In the Last Days perilous times will come,
but there is a God in heaven—and if you
know Christ as Savior, this God is your
God. He rules
and reigns, and our times
are in His hands (Psalm 31:15).
"Nothing is too big for God
to handle, and nothing is too
small to escape His attention."
