God is in control

God is in control, 

We believe that His children will not be forsaken,

God is in control,

We will choose to remember and never be shaken,

There is now power above or beside Him, we know

God is in control, oh God is in control.

History marches on

There is a bottom line drawn across the ages

Culture can make its plan

Oh, but the line never changes

No matter how the deception may fly

There is one thing that has always been true

It will be true forever. 

God is just amazing. I mean this with no disrespect, but when I sing the lyrics of a song such as this, and I understand them for myself, I am just in awe of this God that I can call my Father. 

My last blog post was about God the creator; He created this world in six days. However, there is so much more than God's creating of this world. For after the six days of creation, God rested on the seventh, however He did not withdraw Himself from His creation, but governs and preserves it throughout all ages. God did not leave His creation up to chance, He did not leave man alone to figure out everything for himself. Rather, God is in control. 

Even before He laid the foundations of this world, God had a plan for you and for me. He knew all that we were to do in our lives, right down to the very number of the hairs on our heads.

Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? 

And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. 

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 

Do not fear, for you are of more value than many sparrows. 

(Matthew 10:29-31)

Think about that for a moment. How intricate is God's care for you, He even takes pleasure in knowing something as seemingly insignificant as the number of hairs upon your head. 

In this way you can see how God is in control, He has determined the plan for your life and mine. A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps (Proverbs 16:9). God is in direct control over your life; He is in direct control over this world. 

So then, we have no reason to worry, or to doubt the goodness of God. For He is in control; He will never let you down. 

He has never let you down.

Why start to worry now?

Why start to worry now?

He is still the Lord of all we see

And He is still a loving Father

Watching over you and me.

Watching over you... watching over me...

Watching over everything...

Watching over you... watching over me...

Every little sparrow... every little thing...
