Giving Thanks
The election is over and the yard signs have disappeared. Promises made: promises broken. Some people are happy with the results--others are not. Are you concerned about the future of our country with all of the natural disasters and a culture spiraling out of control? Are you wondering what the future will be like for your children and grandchildren?
We can choose to worry about this and let our concerns rob us of our daily joy and hope, or we can trust the Lord who holds the future in his hands. God gives us comfort in the Bible by reassuring us that the leaders in power are under His authority. They are accountable to Him. Psalm 22:28 says, "For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations."
God is sovereign and is in control of the rise and the fall of every world leader. Nothing happens by accident; God will do what He chooses to do. In Proverbs 21:1 we read, "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases."
So as we approach this season of Thanksgiving, let us give thanks to God remembering that He is in control and He makes no mistakes.
