Is God In Control?

I was trying to write my blog and I thought God being in control was going to be my title. I wrote and ripped it up so many times. It just wouldn’t gel. Suddenly a voice seemed to pop onto my head. Was it God or was it my own mind figuring things out? Here is how it went: “Why do you think you can influence any reader about God taking control of our country when you don’t know how in the world things are going to go back to normal?” I had to admit I sure didn’t know, but I did know God must be the answer.

Genesis 1 begins like this: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, but the earth was formless and empty. God saw that light was good so He said ” let there be light, and He separated day from night.” The entire earth was covered with water, so He separated the waters from the land. That caused our beautiful oceans and the lakes and rivers we do enjoy. and we had plenty of land to grow our food, and trees to enjoy and use for buildings. This was all done by God saying it. He did the same with things to grow, and animals to roam the earth. He ordered fish to live in our streams, lakes and oceans. It all was so beautiful and ready, for what?

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth.” And he did! He made man and woman and He blessed them. I don’t imagine He likes everything we have done either to the earth itself, or to man and woman. It’s crazy though, He still loves us, all of us.

Yet we go on thinking that big tech is so powerful, How can we win over that? Or, those people have been planning this for years. We can’t win. Oh yes we can. We have the all powerful, all loving Father God and his Son, Jesus, and the holy Spirit on our side. So, let us lean on them. They will carry us through so that we can have an America with freedom and justice for all.

Is God in control? Yes, He loves our earth and its people. He is in control. What we need to do is trust Him and keep praying for our country. Will you do that?
