It is so encouraging to me knowing that God is in control of history. No matter what is happening in the world we have the promise that Christ, the Prince of Peace, Emanuel, the Ancient of Days, the First and Last, Alpha and Omega, will bring all things to a conclusion, and one day evil will be destroyed and we will see a new Heaven and Earth, with no more tears and heartache, only peace, beauty and light in His presence forever. After all, history is His Story.
I have to remind myself daily, that all things on this earth are temporal, only God's truth will last. Through Christ all things exist and are held together, and through Him we have life everlasting by faith in His gift to us, the sacrifice given freely so we might live.
Leaders will come and go, rise and fall. Only God will rule for eternity, and bring peace on Earth at His appointed time.
As we approach Thanksgiving, I thank God for His love, His provision, and for blessing our land since her founding. I pray His hand of Providence will remain on America.
