God is in Charge

Daniel 4:17 NIV:
“ ‘The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people.’

There's a God that rules over the affairs of men. The same God who set up humble Daniel as an administrator in Babylon was the same God who brought down Nebuchadnezzar when his heart was exalted. The same God chose prostitute Rahab as part of the lineage of Jesus. He does as he chooses and no one can question him, because he's the one in charge of the affairs of men.

Whatever God does, the ultimate goal is so that men may acknowledge his power and praise Him. If we recognise and acknowledge the fact that God is fully in charge of our lives, then we will not fret when things don't go according to plan or when God interrupts our schedule because he wants to bless us. God has a unique sense of timing and harmony that only someone with total and absolute knowledge of all constants and variables can combine to achieve his ultimate purpose. Nothing catches him by suprise and everything will work out to his own end-purpose- even our carelessness, mistakes and errors.

When next trials arise and you think you can't go on, or you think that God is helpless or late, think again: if he holds the universe in place and ensures that the seasons keep ticking, he surely has your life under control. His time of favour is here.
