Scripture:
“He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.” Daniel 2:21 NLT
Observation:
Daniel shares here that God controls the course of world events. It is God that removes kings and sets up other kings. It is God who gives wisdom and knowledge. It is God who puts people into positions of power and authority for His purposes. God is always working in world affairs to bring about what needs to take place on the world stage.
Application:
Sometimes when we are frustrated with our leadership, we must remember that God is working a plan and He uses world leaders to implement that plan. Even evil rulers are put into position by God for His purposes. Nothing and no one gets into office without God being involved. Many times we put our political hats on and take pride in our political campaigns and elections, but in the end, it is God who puts people into office as part of His plan. Our job is to work with Him to accomplish His purposes.
Prayer:
Father, help me to find the right balance between You and politics. Help me to realize that, no matter who is in office in our country, that You are still in control ultimately and working Your will in the earth. Teach me to be okay with trusting that You are working, even when ungodly people rule. Teach me to trust You more and more each day.
Yours,
Jeff
