God is in Control

Earlier tonight I had been thinking about the financial situation of our country, and how people must be struggling with the price of gas and groceries. At least struggling compared to what we are used too in this great country.

As I thought about this I walked outside and looked at the sky toward the north and saw stars everywhere, I turned and looked to the south and stars were everywhere. Everywhere I looked I saw stars. Science tells us that those stars are millions of miles away, that is further than I can possibly imagine. As I pondered this I realized that God is not only here with me, but He is also present on each one of those stars at this very moment. He has been present in every inch of all the universe since He spoke it into existence. That is a mighty big God and even that doesn't come close to showing His glory.

Job 22:14....he walks on the vault of heaven

Job 9:6 who shakes the earth out of its place,and its pillars tremble; 7 who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; 8 who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea;

Psalms 89:11 The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. 12 The north and the south, you have created them; ...

Exodus 15:11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

And yet a God like this showed mercy on a foolish speck like me.

How can we worry when we serve a God like this?

Does anything happen that He does not know?

Does He not work everything for our good if we love Him, even suffering?

We cannot know what lies ahead whether God will bless America or remove it from the face of the earth, but all things are in his hands.

Psalm 86:5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

Lamentations 3:32 but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;

Psalm 86:5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You.

1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Chronicles 16:34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!
