Psalm 103:19 ‘The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.’

DAILY READING ; 2 Corinthians 12; 2 Kings 26; Habakkuk 3

In early 2013, in Russia, there were predictions and much media publicity of the close approach of a large asteroid expected on 15th February 2013.
NASA and the relevant aeronautical agencies were placed on high alert over this coming occurrence.
However, 16 hours before this expected asteroid, another unforseen, unpredicted, undetected catastrophic event occurred.

A meteor that no one knew was approaching suddenly entered the Earth’s atmosphere over Russia on that same day. This meteor was different from what scientists had been predicting.
It was totally undetected before its entry and took the aeronautical agencies by surprise.

The city of Chelyabinsk in Russia was suddenly hit with the explosion of this meteor which created panic among the local residents.

The light from this meteor was so bright that it was visible up to 100 km away and could be seen even in neighbouring republics.
The meteor’s explosion generated a hot cloud of dust and gas that penetrated up to 26.2 km away. The energy it released was equivalent to that of about 26 atomic bombs.
About 7,200 buildings in six cities across the region were damaged by the explosion’s shock waves.

However, the amazing thing was that while the relevant agencies were all totally unprepared for this emergency, God took absolute control of the situation.
Miraculously, not one person was killled, despite the fact that the explosion heavily damaged the city. Though, about 1,500 people were injured, all of the injuries were due to indirect effects such as broken glass from vibrating windows due to the shock waves. No one person at all was injured directly by the meteor.

The suddeness of this meteor’s explosion was indeed a rude wake-up call to scientists. It showed their inability to fully predict or control events in outer space.

Certainly, only God is in full control of the universe.
And His continual divine protection over the earth is an amazing wonder.
It is a miracle, that with millions of space rocks flying about in the solar system, none has yet destroyed major cities or even wiped out humanity.
God is certainly in perfect control of every occurrence in the universe. Every asteroid, every comet, every meteoroid, is controlled by the power of His Word.

In Isaiah 48:13 God says ‘Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together’

Certainly, all of creation stands in awe of God.
God upholds all things by the Power of His Word..
He alone has authority and dominion over all nations, and over all people.

1 Chronicles 29:11 says “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.”

Indeed God reigns supreme over all creation. Daniel 2 tells us that God removes and sets up kings. He is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives the throne to whosoever He wishes.

Most importantly this God that rules the universe is our Father. The same hand that control the universe is the hand that holds our destinies.
This is why we should not fret or bother over life’s challenges or confrontations.
Certainly, Jehovah alone has the final say over our lives.
Salvation has ushered us into the realm of divine security where
we can abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
This is the redemptive prevelege Jesus purchased for us at Calvary.
No matter what goes on in the world, our lives and times are in God’s hands.

His divine protection over the earth is clear indication of His ability to protect our lives.
Not one hair can fall from our head without His permission.
The mark of the Blood of Jesus has indeed placed a “touch not” seal over our lives.

The God of wonders who is in perfect control of all creation also watches over our individual affairs.
Just as He displays His wonders in the universe, He is ever ready to manifest His wonders in our lives.

Understand therefore that there is nothing too hard for God to do in your life today. All you need is to keep your faith strong and remain obedient to His Words and certainly He will soon turn you into a sign and wonder to all.

PRAYER: Lord, I know that indeed You are in perfect control of my life and all that concerns me. Help me to be rightly positioned, through diligent study of Your Word, so that I can partake of the wonders You have laid up for me in Jesus Name..
