Psalm 50:19-23 (NKJV) says,
"You give your mouth to evil,
And your tongue frames deceit.
You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
These things you have done, and I kept silent;
You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And set them in order before your eyes.
“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
And your tongue frames deceit.
You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.
These things you have done, and I kept silent;
You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And set them in order before your eyes.
“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver:
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me;
And to him who orders his conduct aright
I will show the salvation of God.”
We make the mistake, all too often, in believing that God is like us. He is not. Man (and woman) is made in the image of God, rather than God made in the image of man. God is sovereign and is above all else. "Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, He was above them.” Exodus 18:11 (NKJV)
Steven Curtis Chapman's song, God is God, speaks volumes on this subject. If you have troubles in this world, take comfort. God is God and we are not. He is sovereign and is in total control - read the Book of Revelation and read it with hope and promise rather than with fear and trembling. Christians have no need to fear future events. GOD IS GOD!
