God In Politics?
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." Romans 9:17 NIV
Make no mistake about it, God is in control!
Being a political observer, I have closely been watching the presidential race in the United States. As we move closer to selecting a new president, the candidates are trying to make their positions known. Each one has his own solutions to our problems. I'm not criticizing any of them, but I can't help but remind myself, that ultimately, the fate of the nation (and any nation) is in the hand of God.
Pharaoh thought he was in control. From what I understand about the office there may have never been a more powerful position in history. The Pharaoh had all the world could offer at the time; the best of wealth, wine and women. His armies were as vast as his land and livestock. When he was threatened by an enemy, he quickly elimi nated them. There was no limit to his control....or at least he thought.
Isn't it neat how God has a way of putting people in their place? God makes it clear to Pharaoh that his only purpose in this world is to be used in such a way as to ultimately give God the glory. Wow! Can you say "humbling"?
Dear Christian friends, regardless of what the media or politicians may say, the one in charge is the Lord God Almighty; Creator; King Eternal! And aren't you glad?
