Hey! God is still in Charge

I hear there are ‘forces’ responsible for the different crisis we have faced across the world in recent times. I mean the 4F CRISIS (Food, Fuel, Financial and Flu).

I understand our present world is in the hands of a few powerful and influential elements and that our Mr. Presidents, Mr. Prime Ministers, Madam Chancellors and Her Excellencies ‘blow the tunes’ dictated by these behind the scene voices and hands.

Well, I have read Sidney Sheldon’s Best Laid Plan and I know that there could be scripts handed out by god-fathers to be read by their stooges. What makes me uncomfortable however, is how man has now so elevated himself to the point that he scorns God and uses the life, resources, opportunity and time given to him by God to mess up God’s beautiful work and world.

I think of these things and I wonder if God can ever be overthrown as the creator and Lord over all humans, systems, structures, organizations and governments.

I observe the privileged trampling on the hope and integrity of the disadvantaged. I listen to ‘dust’ boasting for example of how he would blow up the world with nukes; I get fascinated at the instances of finite challenging the authority and existence of the INFINITE.

Hmm! Can God not change fame to shame? Can he not deliver the oppressed like He did in Egypt? Does he not have the power to silent the haughty and over-confident as the story of Nebuchadnezzar as well as that of the Rich Man depicted? Should man ever be so full of himself that he distrupts what God took time to create and delights in?

Well, for me, I have seen God move. I have felt His touch, I am dead convinced that ‘the earth is his’ and the fullness thereof...’ I am in awe of his incredible and indescribable abilities. I am mindful of what I do and say because I know he is still in charge.
