February 10 - The Lord Is In Control.

Proverbs 21:1
“The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”
 
No matter who holds the highest governmental position in the land, they are still at the footstool of the King of Kings.
 
Matthew 5:34-35
“But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.”
 
No matter how many votes are cast, God in His Wisdom chooses who is elected. They may hold a position, but it is God Who controls what will or will not occur for they are in His hand.
 
Daniel 2:20-22
“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
 
God controls everything by His Wisdom, yet offers to give us Wisdom if only we would ask.
 
James 1:5
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
 
Proverbs 2:6-7
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”
 
Thank Him today for all He has given you, and remember that He is in control.
 
Daniel 2:23
“I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.”
