November 10 - Thankful 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.”
 
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. 
 
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.”
 
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.
