He is in control

Who do you think is actually in control Regardless of what you think God is in control (KJV). Psalm 115 3 But our God is in the heavens he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Proverbs 16 4 The LORD hath made all things for himself yea even the wicked for the day of evil. Proverbs 19 21 There are many devices in a man s heart nevertheless the counsel of the LORD that shall stand. Isaiah 14 24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn saying Surely as I have thought so shall it come to pass and as I have purposed so shall it stand Isaiah 46 10 Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done saying My counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure Why does He do what He does 2 Peter 3 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but is longsuffering to us-ward not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (He wants all to come to repentance eventually. Will all come to repentance Just look around you today (2022 ). No matter what happens it will be God s will). Transcendent (GOD) existing apart from and not subject to the limitations of the material universe. Despite human disbelief God s purposes will prevail remember He is in control Rejection of God and the Bible (His word) as the basis of all authority even by the majority as is the case in many nations today in no way invalidates the truths in God s Word. Other people say they accept the Bible but reject sections from it because the contents do not agree with their own personal beliefs. This approach is unacceptable to God. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever the thoughts of his heart to all generations. (Psalm 33 10-11 KJV).God s thoughts and ways are far superior to human ingenuity and thoughts (Isaiah 55 8-9 KJV) and He emphatically states So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55 11 KJV emphasis added throughout). Human rejection of His Word will not alter the ultimate outcome of God s purpose. It is not the will of man that ultimately prevails but what God has planned (Isaiah 14 24 26-27 KJV).God s power supersedes all human government and institutions. He says there is no God like Him who declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times things that are not yet done saying Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done saying My counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure (Isaiah 46 9-10 KJV). No human authority no matter how powerful can overrule supplant or supersede the will of God His will and or opinion matters most Seek His opinion and pray for His will to be done Whatever He says thinks or purposes it will happen. He will do what pleases Him. The soul of every living thing is in His hand including your soul. You can take that to the bank. These are just a few of the many very important verses concerning this subject. Keep studying the Bible my friends. If you don t do that now start today. You will be truly amazed at what is actually in your Bible. Why do you need to study your Bible Read the following verses and the paragraph below for the answer Amos 8 11 (KJV) Behold the days come saith the Lord GOD that I will send a famine in the land not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the LORD Amos 8 12 (KJV) And they shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not find it. Have you witnessed any signs of this famine Do you hear all 31 102 verses of God s Word where you go on Sundays More than likely not thus the famine. You ll not likely hear enough to feed your spirit it will starve. How can you know the word of God yourself if you trust others to spoon feed it to you a couple of verses at a time You ll only be fed what they want you to know just like news outlets of today. Think about that Are you satisfied with that If not study the Bible yourself completely and don t allow yourself to be in the group that knows so little about God s word and easily deceived. Psalm 63 1 119 131 Ezekiel 36 29-30 [when you study all of God s Word there is no famine Daniel 12 4 see 2 Timothy 2 15]. Seek Him Jeremiah 29 13 Amos 5 4 Matthew 7 7 Luke 11 9. What happens to those who don t seek Him The opposite they don t find Him.
