My Father did this!

How our hearts rejoice to know that
IT IS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WHO DICTATES
AND RULES ALL THE AFFAIRS OF PROVIDENCE.
(Rom. 11:33-36; Isa. 46:9-11; Dan. 4:35).

He who is the Captain of the ship of Time, he who sits at the
helm of the ship and steers the course of all things, according to
the map of his own sovereign purpose, to their appointed destiny
is our heavenly Father! Sometimes we have nothing to fall back
on except this. But when a person can fall back on this--
"My Father did this!" he needs nothing else to fall back on!
With confident hearts, in the face of the most tragic of events,
believers can and should say, with old Eli, "It is the Lord;
let him do what seem good to him." (1 Sam. 3:18).
