He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

Ephesians 3:8-13

God is in control. He is not only in control of you but every believer, unbeliever, every angel and demon, things seen and unseen, God has it all in his hands. The children's Sunday school song He's Got the Whole in His Hands is very true. There is nothing that escapes God. Stop and think about it. If God is who He says He is, then God, (the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe {webster dictionary defintion}), cannot be at fault, make a mistake, have forgotten a task, or make an error, or he wouldn't be God. In His sovereign will he brings every believer together into His family, the church, the Body of Christ. Angels marvel at the working of God through the church around the world and the perfect timing of God's plan for every individual life. This is a display of the glory of God's power and omniscience.

Application:

Lord, the fact that my life is so complex and beyond my ability to control reflects Your omnipotent coordination operating in all the church of Christ. I shouldn't try to manage my own life but continue to rely and depend on You to bring all its various loose ends together. This perfect, amazing, coordination that confounds angels and me alike, gives me so many more ways I can thank and praise Your name.

What are you worried about today? God has it all built into His plan for you. Take the time to surrender all your worries and concerns to Your Amazing Lord each day (I Peter 5:7).
