Daily devotion – Who is running the show?
God is in control
Not only is God in charge of all things. He is also in control of them – nothing happens apart from God’s will. Job confessed to God, “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted” – Job 42:2
The psalmist added, “Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him.” – Psalm 115:3.
Again, “the Lord does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.” – Psalm 135:6
The great king Solomon acknowledged, “The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases” – Proverbs 21:1. God is the Sovereign over all sovereigns; He is “King of kings and Lord of lords” – Revelation 19:16
There is nothing any human power does that is not done under God’s power!
No matter what the headlines print, or the panic that the world stirs up, we can be assured still – God is in control!
