God is in control*

Daniel 4:17 "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the highest ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." I listen to the radio when driving and various talk shows will take about the sorry state of our country. Our President is giving aid to terrorist organizations as they put it and in our own county putting people out of work by cutting funding to the airport control towers. Tupelo Airport is one of the airport towers that is being closed.  While I agree that we should not give aid to the Palestinians, when they publicly state they want to wipe Israel off the map, I still believe God is in control. I believe he set up our former President and I am sure Conservatives will agree with that. I believe he set up this President and I am sure Liberals will agree with that but how could God have put that former President in office. Conservatives will probably not agree that God had anything to do with putting this President in office. You can't have it both ways, either God is in control or he is not. Daniel was a slave and yet he survived several Kings and one of them was ruthless Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 5:19 "And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down." This is the same King that threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew God could deliver them if he wanted to, but either way, they would win. If God had chosen not to deliver them, they would still have been with him. God is still in control, our leaders can only go as far as God allows them to go. Sometimes when I see the things that are happening in our world, I wonder if we are in the last days before the second coming of Christ. All I know is I want to be in God's hands. I can't see the future and I don't know what is going to happen even at the end of this year. I make and develop plans for what I think I want to do, but then like Barbara says If God allows I will do this or that. If I am still here. I think it is a good place to be in God's hands. He can deliver us, he can set up a new ruler, he can limit how far this President can go before he says, no more.  We can survive this administration just as Daniel did and several more. It is thought that Hillary is getting ready to run in 2016, perhaps. As more and more people become dependant on an ever-growing government, it will be harder and harder for a conservative to win in my thinking. Know this that God sets them up and brings them down. I just need to keep myself in God's hands and I'll be alright.  God Bless, LVZ.
