While it requires no great theological insight to recognize the sovereignty of Almighty God, it does require a deep, abiding faith, and absolute trust in Him that He is in control. The Psalmist tells us that: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods” (Psalm 24:1, 2). Our God is the Creator, Sustainer and Possessor of the whole world, and therefore worthy of worship and reverent loyalty as “the King of Glory.” This is a message that was lost on some people at a recent Precinct Convention. Ignorantly, these people submitted resolutions to control the actions of God through His people. How feeble! As the people of the most high God, we are governed by His laws and precepts found in His word, The Bible. It is not what we say or resolve, it is the acknowledging of Him. We are required to be good citizens of this country, however, when there is conflict between things of this world and things of God, we side with the Lord. Jesus said we should “Render therefore unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s; and unto God the things which are God’s” (Matt. 22:21). Remember, in every circumstance of life, God is in control.
Dear Ones, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5, 6)
