Does it ever seem to you like things in the world have gone crazy? The ridiculous things people do, the things that are considered acceptable behavior, the evil of some toward others?
Our time is not the first time people felt this was occurring, David writes in Psalm 11:3, “The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?”
But we know God is in control, as David continued in Psalm 11:4, “But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.”
Proverbs 16:4 also says, “The Lord has made everything for his own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster.”
God remains in control, and his plan is playing out in our world.
Dear Lord, When we see things appear to be going so wrong in our world, it is difficult for us to understand how these things fit into your plan. Help us remember that we do not need to figure it all out, we only need to believe your word and trust in your protection. You remain in control and will never abandon us. For this we thank you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Wanted to thank you for the guiding of the Holy Spirit for this message. I have been battle weary in an apt. complex where my upstairs neighbors are abusive, violent, and I hear screams at 2 & 3 am. I’ve spoken with the leasing office; I called the police recently. I am a prayer warrior; and lack of complete rest has been challenging. My church family is praying for me and the situation. This message is further confirmation that all is in God’s hands. I give Him praise for this mornings’ meditation.
I will pray for you Carmen that the Lord will build a hedge wall around you and that He will remove this burden from you . Be blessed in His presence. Amen!
