In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.—Proverbs 21:1 (NIV)
This is a great comfort, when we see that there are so many things outside of our own control. Whether it is a military coup in Africa or an election race in America, our hopes and plans are easily overthrown. But not so with God. God has shown His power to overthrow human purposes, even of the most august and revered leaders on earth. He brought down Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Ahab, and Herod. He turned the heart of Pharaoh in Moses' day, Xerxes in Esther's day, and Saul of Tarsus in Ananias' day,...and it goes for Obama, or Romney in our day too,...fear not!
No matter who's in charge, or what they have planed,...our God is in complete control.
Holy Spirit, help us to keep heart. Because God is still on his throne,...no matter what political or
social or economic upheavals threaten to shake our world. Let us remember; the hearts of kings are
still in God's hand. Amen!
"To walk with God,...our focus needs to be on God."
