God is in Control

Rember That God Is In Control

This past week many of us were affected by the fierce storms that passed through the area. Some of us were even under a tornado warning for a brief period of time. Most of us received hail, high winds and heavy rain for a time. Often during times like this, one may feel the presence of God in the untamed power of nature. But truly, God is in control of nature.

Nahum 1:3b-5: “The LORD has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts. The mountains quake before Him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at His presence, yes, the world and all who dwell in it.”

Yes, God is in control over the weather! In the New Testament, Jesus, God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14), proved this to the disciples when He calmed a great storm (Mark 4:35-41). They were fearful and thought they would perish, but Jesus said to the sea, “peach, be still.” We may be scared when bad weather approaches, but we must remember that God is there. Likewise, when the storms of life try to shake us, God is there.

Truly, God’s control of nature is just an indication of His control over all things. We need to fully entrust our lives to Him.

Psalm 56:3: “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.” God is in control and we need to trust in Him. Take action now to put yourself in His hands.
