To Him Be The Glory

"For from Him, and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen"- Romans 11:36 (NIV).

God is in control. He's in control when jobs are flourishing and when jobs are being out-sourced. He's in control when babies are being born and when infertility looms over a couple. He's in control when you finish your first marathon and when you discover your cancer has returned. There will be times when your faith is soaring, strong, and there will be times when God's presence can't be felt and your prayers seem to go unanswered, unheard. Look around at God's creation. The bird still sings after the snake has found her nest. The wildflower still springs forth after the fire has scorched the land. The rainbow still appears and arches over the hurricane battered coastline. Get out into God's creation and witness its testimony: God is omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. He is all powerful, He is all present and He is all knowing; He is in control. Jesus responded to His frightened disciples, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm" (Matthew 8:26). To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
