2 Peter 2:4-10...Trust Me, God has "Got This"...

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless  (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.  This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority.

God is in control. That is a promise that we should hold dear and pray for wisdom to understand. Although it may seem that the world is coming apart all around us we have to cling to the truth that God has “got this”. He knows the future as sure as He knows the past and He has purposed everything specifically. Although we may not understand at the moment or ever comprehend the events of today, God is in control. The same God that sent His only Son, Jesus, to pay the price for our sins and offer to us salvation, is the same God that is in control of today. Trust in His sovereignty, trust in His name, trust His plan and pray for wisdom to understand. God is in control!
