JEREMIAH 27:5 (ABP)
I created the world by my great power — including all the people and animals. I get to choose who will have the power to rule over my creation.
ROMANS 1:20 (NTFE)
There are, of course, things about God which you can’t see, namely, his eternal power and deity. But, ever since the world was created, they have been known and seen in the things he has made.
THE ESSENCE
Since God is the source, he gets to decide who will have power.
DAILY FODDER
One of the great mysteries is that so many people who have values diametrically opposed to God, seem to have so much power in the world where he's the one deciding who gets power. Why might this be?
PRAYER
Creator God, the wonders of creation reveal your eternal power and divine nature. Your beauty and majesty are in the sky. You are in the diversity of plant and animal life. I see you in the unique face and personality of each person I meet. And when I look inward, I feel blessed that you are in my heart. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
