Talk about having my bases covered! Just think about this:

“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death” (Psalm 48:14).

I have made Jesus Christ my guide for life through life. And He has accepted the assignment that trust has laid upon Him.

Furthermore, I have yielded to God for eternity, not just for this life. And He has agreed to be my God for that long.

I need no other guide. I need no other god.

But I wonder what will cross my way today that will tempt me away.

Whatever it may be, I purpose not to yield.

The ungodly are ever more on the rise.

Everywhere.

In politics. In entertainment. In education. In science. In literature.

In the courts. In the public square. In the media.

Even in religion. Even in the Christian church.

Is God losing control?

Are His plans and purposes being messed up?

“God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness” (Psalm 47:8).

No, God is not losing control!

No, God’s plans and purposes are not being fouled up!
