I've said it once, and I'll say it again...God is in Control!

"Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah" Psalm 9:19-20

In recent days, I've heard many people reminding themselves that God is in control. This is mostly due to the recent political climate and the economy. We can certainly make our prayer, "Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail!" Our nation is a sinful nation and if God gives us what we deserve, it will not make for happy times. However, we can rest in the fact that God is in control. So when things like stem cell research and abortion come up, we can continue to cling to God's will and plan. And even when concerns about the economy and our jobs come up, we can still rest in God's will. God will prevail, not man. That is a fact. So we may have to weather some tumultuous times, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is Christ.

What we must remember now is that we are just men (and women). Our president is just a man. Our congressmen are mere men and women. No matter how much they may try to give themselves power or take on the attributes of God, they will fail. What they need and what we need at this time is prayer.
