God is God and I am not!

There is a song that I heard last weekend and it has been on my mind all week. In light of the upcoming elections as well as other personal situations, I have been once again reminded that God is in control! And "Praise the Lord" for that! If left up to me it would be a mess! I am so very thankful for a sovereign, loving Savior that always has my best interest at heart. He has been so good to me and my family. We are so very blessed. The name of the song I am talking about is titled, "You are God Alone." I included the lyrics below in case you needed to be reminded of this truth like I did. Hope it ministers to you like it did to me.


Verse 1
You are not a God created by human hands
You are not a God dependent on any mortal man
You are not a God in need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is

Verse 2
You're the only God whose power none can contend
You're the only God whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God, that's just the way it is

Chorus
You are God alone, from before time began
You were on Your throne, You were God alone
And right now, in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne, You are God alone

You're unchangeable! You're unshakable! You're unstoppable! That's what You are!
You're unchangeable! You're unshakable! You're unstoppable! That's what You are!

Jeannie,
Thank you for your post. I love the final line in the chorus that reminds us: "You are on Your throne." So often when we find ourselves and our circumstances spinning out of control, God is in the same place He was before the kaoss and will remain there afterward. He is big, His throne is mighty! As Beth Moore say's so well, "Praise You, Father."

Love ya-
