Sirach 10:4
The authority of the earth is in the hand of the Lord,
And He will raise up the right man for an appointed time.
Encouraging Words
God is always in control. He is the creator and sustainer of all. However, He still lets humankind live their lives with their own free will. This is why so often things go awry in this world. It is not God that causes famines or wars, it is us doing things our own way for ourselves. These consequences of our bad choices grieve our God. This also bears out in the leaders that we choose to rule over us. God allows us to make choices that are contrary to His will and in His loving grace, He uses those poor choices to teach us. This is His way of raising up the right leader for an appointed time. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
