Creation and All Life Produced and Directed By God
11/20/1999
A simple, but powerful truth has meant very much to me this week, as through it, God has clarified my Vision, Love and Devotion to Him many times: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it....” (Ps. 24:1) Why so powerful?? Because it speaks of God’s COMPLETE and TOTAL ownership, sovereignty and power over the earth and ALL its inhabitants. HE is the One who orders all the workings of our lives, circumstances and relationships. HE is the One who determines who, what, where, when and how Life is worked out day to day. The Government and Final Say-so rests with HIM, not me!! HE is the One who decides and directs and determines and strengthens and provides Grace and Love to walk out His Will for our lives. He REALLY DOES!! So who am i to question, whine, second-guess, accuse when He is GOD and has EVERY RIGHT to call the shots EXACTLY the way He likes! The earth is THE LORD’s!!! And ALL WHO LIVE IN IT! Let’s together turn from all the downcastness, or striking out or blaming or groveling or aimlessness or selfishness—and instead, with a Light and a Hope and a Gleam in our eye, “follow the Lamb wherever He goes...” He reigns SUPREME!!

As I read through this devotional written by another sister it just really encouraged me.It what seems to be such dark days and I look around at the ugly news headlines and fear or worry tries to raise up inside me, it so good to know that GOD remains in control. JESUS lives and reigns!! AMEN!!
God bless
