 …”OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN… MATTHEW 6:9 |
|
| When we pray to our Father God, we recognize His position. Daniel said, ‘…the Most High rules over the kingdom of the world…’ (Daniel 4:17 NLT). That’s the ultimate reality that we need to remember when we see frightening headlines. This rebellious world has been wrestling against God for thousands of years. The prophet Isaiah cried, ‘Oh, the raging of many nations – they rage like the raging sea!…’ (Isaiah 17:12) If God isn’t in control – who is? The Prime Minister? Well, he wears smart suits and always has a smile for the camera, but that’s not good enough if you really want to sleep peacefully in your bed at night. The Psalmist said, ‘My help comes from the Lord…’ (Psalm 121:2 NIV). Think: if He really is King over everything that’s going on, and if He’s promised to help us when we call on Him, what do we have to worry about? You say, ‘What about terrorism? What about The Middle East?’ God’s heart breaks over the hatred and violence that human beings inflict on each other – but Jesus told us that it would be this way as the end comes near: ‘You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed – such things must happen, but the end is still to come…’ (Matthew 24:6 NIV) Still think God’s not running the show? He’s God, and He has a master plan. The exciting bit of that plan is that it’s not a big secret; He’s already told us the way it ends: ‘…at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow…and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father’ (Philippians 2:10-11 NIV). |
