God is in control

The last few days I've been thinking about how lucky I am to be an American citizen and how God has truly blessed our nation over the last 200 hundred years. Since our last presidential election, our country has experienced a national anxiety attack over various issues with the mainstream media leading the charge. To hear the media put it, Doom is always on the way, but nothing to could be further from the truth. God is still in control and nothing happens without his consent.

Which leads me to the words of my pastor Dr. Charles Stanley. The following is a message from Dr. Stanley. The scripture passage is 2 Timothy 2:11-13

"All of us experience times when circumstances feel unbearable, prayers appear to go unanswered, and God seems distant. When that happens, we may wonder if He is the same as we once believed him to be."

"The key is simply one's understanding of trust in God's faithfulness. This term means that the Lord never changes - He always does what is right, remains true to His promises, and is 100 percent reliable. In other words, we can trust our almighty God, regardless of our situation or attitude."

My goal in quoting Dr. Stanley is to help put everyone's fears at ease. Our risen Savior has conquered the world and that is timeless. May God bless you throughout your day today.
