Daniel 4: 35: "He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest thou?" Dr. R.C. Sproul commented that there were no maverick molecules. Nothing in the universe was outside of God's control. It is amazing how God weaves all the events that occur into a Divine plan that fulfils His purposes, not necessarily ours. In a sense, Providence is a greater miracle than a miracle. If God stops the natural flow of events and injects a supernatural outcome, it becomes a one-dimensional act on His part. For God to cause His own will to be accomplished through myriad independent exigencies is a miracle beyond our minds ability to comprehend. However, that is exactly how He operates the entire universe in which we live. Some people don't like the fact that God is in charge and they are not.I believe it is comforting that God is in charge not me. It is not about you saying the right words, or saying enough prayers. I know a person that lost a loved one and he was concerned that he had not prayed enough or said the right words. I told him that he was not that powerful. God was in charge. We pray, believe, trust and then rest in the Sovereignty of God to do what is best. That is comforting to me.
