10-14-2022 Devotion: Turning

 Proverbs 21: 1: "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." A person may be a pharaoh in Egypt, a king of Babylon, a Caesar of Rome, an Alexander the Great, a Napoleon, a Joe Stalin, an Adolph Hitler, or anyPresident of the USA. Regardless of how powerful a man may become politically, it can be stated as an axiom that no man can act in the independence of God. Many of these leaders thought they could, and some men today may still think they can. However, the truth is that no man is free from God. No man can act independently. We have a Declaration of Independence in this country. Right now it is being used to declare our independence from God. Our leaders have mocked God and will pay the consequences from His Hand. We believe in liberty; so our nation declared we are free from God! Prayer removed from schools, no mention of God in our government and many times in our workplaces. However, we are not free from God. We cannot act independently. This battle is not over. Take comfort that God is still in charge. No matter what it appears, God is still in complete control. That is a soft pillow to sleep on.
