Know God is in Control

Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Job 37:16

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9

You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:9

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 5:10

When we accept Christ into our lives, we can then make decisions with the guidance of the Spirit of God who lives in us. As we make decisions today, we must turn to Him more for guidance in order to keep his commandments.

Seeing the news today makes me sad. I wonder what else we are going to allow that will entice our people to destroy their bodies. We seem to fail to make decisions that keep our covenant with God. Yet, we approve so many items that will hopefully bring us more money.

Prayer: Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for keeping your covenant with us. Thank you for giving us the Spirit which Christ promised us to live in us. Help us to follow your commandments and help our legislature representatives to know you and follow your commandments too. Help us not to become enticed by money which never satisfies. Thank you for being in control of all, even the clouds and the lightning. Help us to trust in you. Amen.
