God's Control is Perfect

He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down. – Psalm 104:19

This morning, I looked up in the sky and saw the sun rising in the east and the moon setting in the west.  With a backdrop of a bright blue sky and big white billowy clouds, it was a beautiful sight and reminded me of the greatness of our Creator.  It was a great way to start the day and a wonderful reminder of who is in control of this day.  It is God who tells the sun when to set and when to rise.  It is God who tells the heat of summer to give way to the cool crisp fall air.  It is God who is in control.

 It is comforting to know that our loving Creator is in control of everything in his creation.  It is also comforting to know that God controls creation in such way to bring a sense of assurance and stability in our life instead of in a way that would cause us chaos and worry.  God created the seasons and the days so that we know what to expect and how to plan.   We know when to plant and when to harvest, when to pull out the coats and when to put on the shorts.  We know how many hours of daylight we have to finish our work and when the night will come to prepare for bedtime.  God’s is in control and his control is perfect and loving.

Prayer:  Thank you Lord, that you are in control of your beautiful creation.  Thank you, that your control brings a sense of peace and assurance to our daily lives.  Your creation reveals the vastness of your love.  Amen.

Faith Tip:  As summer gently fades into fall and as the daylight gives way to dusk, take some time to thank God for the wonderful way he controls his creation.
