Sunday Psalm 33 Who Really Governs
Sunday April 9, 2017
Elections come and go and we, the people, are always looking for leaders of our country to make decisions which will better life in our home community, in our country and the world at large.
As we read the words from the following Psalm we may choose to think about, and pray for, those who are in leadership in our country.
As we read the words from the following Psalm we may choose to think about, and pray for, those who are in leadership in our country.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. (Psalm 33:12-17 NIV)
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Are we aware that God sees everything that goes on in our homes, in our town, in our country, in the whole world? Have we considered that God, who formed our hearts, considers everything we do? As we watch the world news we need not fear the future. We can rest secure in the fact that God’s plan for this earth cannot be stopped.
In our life in recovery, God is aware of the trials and temptations we face. We cannot look to our politicians to fix us because not even a king can be saved by a great army. If we look to our own strength to bring us through recovery, we will fail. God says not even a warrior can escape by his own strength. When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God we are saying, Lord teach me about Your ways and direct me in the way I should go.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Forgive me for the times I have rebelled against You and Your ways. I am thankful that the blood of Jesus cleanses me from all sin. Please bless my life as I allow You to govern in all my ways. Amen
