God Is Still In Control :: By Dale V. Nobbman

As a Christian, it is comforting to know in these dark and difficult days of the end times we find ourselves living in, prior to the Rapture of the Church (Christians), that God is still in complete and ultimate control of all the circumstances and happenings we see take place on a daily basis in the United States of America, in Israel, and in all the nations on God’s creation of planet Earth.

It’s reassuring to know, for example, that the U.S. Congress is ‘not’ in ultimate control of the future of humanity at home or abroad.  I have always appreciated being able to watch the annual State of the Union speeches by our presidents, but each year the spectacle ends up looking more like another episode of a Kindergarten romper room scene by our members of Congress who are supposed to be the most mature and wise political leaders of the day from year to year, responsible for leading and guiding our country on the best path forward for the provision and protection of the United States citizenry.  Instead, we watch as the SOTU address turns into a sad and tragic scene of vocal outbursts and childish animations by our supposedly adult Congressional Senators and Representatives, who somehow still managed to get elected.

Praise God, we have a God who is in ultimate control of His Creation, otherwise mankind would have destroyed this earth and gone extinct a long, long time ago, under the guidance of Satan.

I have shared my poem ‘God Is in Control’ before on this forum, but this time I want to back it up with Biblical scripture verses.  The poem goes as follows:

God is in control; He’s got things well in hand
He’s doing all that’s best, for His eternal plan
God is in control; I pray for His Will to be done
I put my trust in Him: God, the Three in One
(God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit)

Now, let’s add in scriptural support for this poem.

God is in control 

“For in Him [God] all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.  He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:16-17).

He’s got things well in hand

“Both riches and honor come from You [God], and You are the ruler over all.  In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all” (1 Chronicles 29:12).

He’s doing all that’s best

“And He [God] has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ. As a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:9-10)

“And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

For His eternal plan

“Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail” (Proverbs 19:21).

“I [God] declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish’” (Isaiah 46:10).

God is in control

“The LORD [GOD] made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding” (Jeremiah 10:12).

I pray for His Will to be done

“Your kingdom come, Your Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

I put my trust in Him

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You [God]” (Psalm 56:3).

“Trust in the LORD [GOD] with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him [God], and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

God, the Three in One

The doctrine of the Trinity is a central tenet of Christian theology, affirming the existence of one God in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each Person is fully and equally God, sharing the same divine essence, yet they are distinct in their personhood and roles. The application of divine titles to each Person of the Trinity is a significant aspect of understanding their unity and distinction within the Godhead (John 3:16-17) (John 1:1) (Titus 2:13) (John 14:16-17).

FEAR NOT!  God is still and always will be in control—even when times feel so out of control.
