God is in Control

"But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine." Psalm 33:18-19

We live in a a world that is constantly changing. The weather, the tides, the seasons are constantly in a state of change. The planets, the stars and all that makes up the universe is in constant motion. Even we are not the same today as we were yesterday not the way we will be tomorrow as our bodies slowly age. Yes all around is in flux and only one constant exists, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Lord is the same today as he was yesterday and will be into eternity. He set the universe into motion when he created it and he sits on a throne while it moves all around him. He has known each one of us since before we were born and he has his eye upon us always. Nothing escapes him and while we endure hardship and good times he is with us even when it seems he is so far away. God is always there no matter how it feels and our salvation. like Him, is unchanged.

We endure difficulties, deaths, sickness and pain in life but God's presence is always there. He is with us even when it seems our prayers go unanswered. Yet God hears them and awaits his plan to unfold in our lives.

When we accepted the free gift of salvation from God we exchanged masters. Once we were enslaved by the Enemy in the bondage. When Jesus shed his blood on the cross and we, through faith in his promises, received eternal life in Jesus we became slaves to Him. We now are "love slaves" of the most high God and we obey him as our Lord and master. So as we endure difficulties or good times, we do it as unto the Lord and we must realize that God has a plan for us and we must be patient and wait for it to unfold.

My prayer: Father, thank you for constantly having your eye on me and keeping me in your loving care. No matter what happens in my life I serve you and your kingdom and not the wishes and desires of my flesh. I love you Lord and want to do your will, no matter what it may cost. I pray this in Jesus name, Amen!
