Pastor Delaine's Wednesday Weekly Email
Greetings!
After the Israelites had generously given gifts for the building of the temple, King David gathered them together and prayed a prayer of praise to God. The following excerpt made me particularly grateful for how powerful and sovereign God is. See if it helps you worry less about the coming elections.
“Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.”
1 Chronicles 29:12 NLT
Our verse reveals that wealth and honor come from God alone. Our culture urges us to be impressed with the people who have wealth and honor.
Our verse reveals that God rules over everything. Our culture urges us to lift up people who appear to hold the reins of power.
Our verse reveals that power and might are in God’s hand. In other words, He is the ultimate source of influence and authority. Our culture urges us to worship people who seem to be influential and important.
Our verse reveals that at God’s discretion people are made great and given strength. Our culture urges us to believe that people decide who becomes significant and who wields power.
Wonderfully, our verse reveals the truth that our culture has overlooked: the universe and even the most powerful people in it, operate only with God’s permission and under His control.
We have a role to play as we pray and vote, but we can do both without fretting and worrying because we believe 2 Chronicles 29:12. Rest well tonight!
Blessings!
