What a reassurance to know that our God is always in control. He
does not get concerned about the various methods that mere mortal men have
tried to keep him in a box. He knows that His position can never be usurped and
He will never abdicate it.
As much as we know this, we
tend to get concerned when He seems to be too quiet. There are times when
certain things happen we tend to question how did that one slip by Him? There
are times when it appears that the wicked are prospering while the righteous
appears to suffer, So many times we see one nation overpowering the next and it
appears that God is nowhere to be found. I have learned that these are times
when we must go on what we know about God and not on the appearance of things.
Earlier this week someone shared with me about her husband a
football coach, receiving an e-mail from ACLU telling him that he could not
participate in prayer with his students. He was also told that he should be a
certain number of feet from the students when they prayed. Just prior to this incident it was on the news
where another football coach was disciplined and also told that he could not
join the circle if his football players chose to pray before their games. In
addition 2 school districts in Maryland decided that their students would now
have winter and spring break instead of Christmas break or Easter break. This
is truly amazing as we can clearly see what is happening in schools and with
our children with them trying to remove the name of Jesus/God from schools.
Do you realize that try as
we may we cannot erase the name of the Lord? Did you know that no one else can
take His place even if to some of us He does not seem to be functioning the way
we think He should? Here is a great
passage that was shared at our time of prayer at my church - Isaiah 40:12-18
-This passage has certainly put things into perspectives, please take a minute
to read it.
God is so big that he measures the seas by holding them in the
palm of his hand
Do not get anxious. God is still in control and we will never be
able to erase His name. Try not to get trapped in going along with the status
quo, but keep saying Christmas and Easter holidays and teach your children why
it is important.
Have a
great Thanksgiving and remember to extend the generosity beyond your immediate family
In His service,
