I Got It Covered, Nana

So said Christopher a few of days ago.  I had his sandwich ready for lunch and asked him what he wanted to drink with it.  His response was "I got it covered, Nana."  And he went to the refrigerator, got his drink, and we sat down and had our lunch.

That response came to my mind this morning as I was reading through some Facebook posts.  There's a lot of worry and frustration in our world right now.  There's a lot of concern about what is happening to our country and the direction we're moving in.  The list of things that concern us is quite lengthy. 

There's the hypocrisy of those in government who promote gun control in the name of protecting children, while at the same time those same people are adamant in their support of the murder of unborn children by the thousands every day, calling that a "choice".  There are high taxes and unemployment.  There's the steady retreat away from Biblical values in our society.  The list goes on and on and on.  All these are legitimate concerns.  But....

If we could hear the audible voice of God this morning, I think He might say to us the same thing Christopher said to me......I've got this.  I've got it covered.

And He would.  He does.  While we may not understand much - or any - of what is going on in our world, our Sovereign God is not at all surprised by any of it.  Because He is a Sovereign God.  Because He is Almighty.  And All-Powerful.  And All-Knowing.  Because He is God.  Yesterday, and today, and forever.

"He is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end......
His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."
(Daniel 6;26; 7:14b ESV)
