Who Is In Control?

God controls the events of human history to accomplish his purposes.

God’s rule over human happenings is demonstrated many times in the Bible.

He removes and raises up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

The prophet Daniel prayed:

“I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known . . . the king's demand" Daniel 2:23.

When we see disturbing conditions in our world we should realize as Daniel did, that God "reigns over the nations, God sits on his holy throne" (Psalm 47:8; and Jeremiah 18:7-10).

He still rules in the kingdom of men. And while we may not know the extent of God’s rule, we should realize that God is working out his own purposes through contemporary human events.

Please continue to pray for the Middle East and all people in authority so that we may have peace and the Gospel would be preached to all Nations.

Paul
