GOD IS IN CONTROL
Daniel 1:1-2a
"In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the LORD gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand...."
God was in control and it was He who allowed Nebuchadnezzar to conquer Israel because, as a nation, Israel had failed to serve the Lord. Israel's fall was because of sin. When bad things happen to me, I have a habit of blaming others -- my genes, my parents, my environment, society -- when it is often because of my own personal failure. Instead of passing a the buck, I need to consider that maybe it is because of my own sin or mistakes. God loves me so much that He humbles me so I will turn to Him.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: When a bad thing happens, God may be allowing it to get my attention."
Have a thoughtful day. Love you.
