The Lord overrules what the nations plan; he frustrates what the peoples intend to do. ~ Psalm 33:10 (CEB)
When Christ was raised from the dead and was seated in the position of authority next to God the Father -- that was God’s power was at work. And there he sits high above all authorities and rulers -- even over angels. All powers -- whether present or future -- are subservient to Christ and his divine power. ~ Ephesians 1:20-21 (ABP)
All powerful God,
THANKS: You alone are worthy of all praise and recognition. All power-brokers within the creation are under your authority and will have to answer to Christ. That makes me feel better about the world.
REGRETS: But I still get annoyed when bad guys get away with things. I let their continued existence get to me when I should be trusting you to take care of it all.
INTERCESSION: But when I stop long enough to think about it, I know that you will. You will take care of it all. Reshape my mind and heart so that they line up with the reality of the resurrection.
PURPOSE: I'm going to live as a resurrection realist!
Amen.
