Wars. Armed conflicts. Shootings. Innocent people detained. There is so much going on in our country and our world that is scary and worrisome. I find myself needing to step back and remember this fundamental truth.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sworn this oath:
“It will all happen as I have planned.
It will be as I have decided.
Isaiah 14:24 NLT

***
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty.
Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom.
We adore you as the one who is over all things.
Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything.
Power and might are in your hand,
and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.
1 Chronicles 29:11-12 NLT
