30 Days of Gratitude ~ Day 7

            I am thankful for God’s sovereignty! While I may be disappointed in the outcome of this election, God was not taken by surprise. He is on His throne – and will not go off by Himself to wring His hands in dismay at what happened in our country.

          So since I believe that God is in control I will not get in a funk but will make my pot of cappuccino and go spend some time in His Word to be reminded of how much He loves me and how He wants me to live.

          These verses from I Chronicles 29:10 – 12 are a huge encouragement:

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power

 and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; 

You are exalted as head over all.
 Wealth and honor come from You;

 You are the ruler of all things.
In Your hands are strength and power

to exalt and give strength to all.
Now, our God, we give You thanks,

and praise Your glorious name.
