From Arthur Blessitt:
“I want to ask a profound question. Who is controlling and regulating the world today: God, the Devil or human beings?
God must either rule or be ruled; sway or be swayed; accomplish His own will or be thwarted by his creation.
Who is governing this world of ours?
God rules or He is ruled. Either God has His way or people have their way.
Should you believe anything else other than that God is in control then you have no security or certainty in this life.
To do full justice to this question and subject would take a book or many books to discuss. I will not go there. My columns are a discussion of my personal beliefs and concepts for the Word of God to my life in this world today. It is my journey of following Jesus and sharing what He has and is teaching me about Himself.
One of the most fundamental beliefs of my life is that “God is in control'. That is what sets me free to go anywhere He leads and live in freedom and joy in a world gone mad. I do not trust in the wisdom of people but in the Truths of God revealed in His Word'¦ the Holy Bible.
In this word of almost total insecurity there is a message almost lost among many people. The concept that somehow we as humans are in control and making a mess of things is common. Many have reduced God to some sideline coach or co-pilot. We feel that the entire world of problems from our health to world wars rests on our own shoulders. The Kingdoms of God is viewed as something to come and not as a Kingdom already here and operating.
All I know is that as I study the Bible I see clearly that nothing is a surprise to God. God knows all things and rules over all people and kingdoms and nations and the heavenly hosts. He rises up people and nations and casts them down. Hundreds of times in the Old Testament of the Bible God is referred to as “The Lord of Hosts'! Host means multitude and it means that God is Lord or Ruler over all the earth and the heavens! Lord over all beings on earth or in the heavens, over humans and angels and any other beings He created.
This Glorious and Mighty and All powerful God is 'In Charge'! He is ruling over all the heavens and earth and over all beings seen or unseen. God loves you and me and cares for us. He is at work in the world through His witnesses and His church.
Just consider the many prophesies in the Holy Bible that have been fulfilled. All because God knows and is in charge and brings to pass His will and way.
I want you to relax and worship God and follow Jesus and live in the power of the Holy Spirit. Go into the world in the sure knowledge that Jesus “Is' with you. Fear not! Not one bird falls to the ground without the knowledge of God. Trust the Lord in all things. Even in the things you do not understand. Praise God He understands all and knows the reasons 'why'.
In this confusing and uncertain world you can be sure and certain in Jesus Christ our Lord and in knowing that God is ruling and reigning over all the earth. Glory! Glory! Glory!”
