‘O Sovereign LORD, you have only begun to show your greatness and the strength of your hand to me, your servant. Is there any god in heaven or on earth who can perform such great and mighty deeds as you do? Deuteronomy 3:24
I heard a news report this morning, and it held fear in it. The world woke up more tense today as the United States leadership has done a thing which will cause retaliation. The markets have reacted in the expected way and the news media is asking its questions this morning. As for me, I looked up in prayer and saw that God was still sovereign.
One of my favorite sayings from the late Pastor Adrian Rogers may be useful here as well. The Holy Trinity did not meet in emergency session last night. We might even imagine the angel Gabriel running into this session with a message from down below. "What have they done now?" the elders ask from around the throne. But all of that would be a useless and false exercise of our imagination. For the Lord our God was not caught off guard by the latest action of our government, nor is He unaware of what has gone before and what will happen tomorrow. Let us all look up in prayer and see that our God is still sovereign.
The next Middle East update from Behold Israel should be interesting; that is, even more interesting than the exciting coming together of the encircling enemies of Israel and God that Amir reports concerning Ezekiel 38. It may be that this latest event is the trigger for that great invasion foretold so long ago and we are alive to see prophecy unfold before us!
Rejoice in Christ! Bucky
