Scripture of the Day - February 20, 2012

Ephesians 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

That He might fill all things...this reminds me of the song, "He's got the whole world in His hands." Folks,God is in control of EVERYTHING. There is nothing hid from Him.He knows all that is going on in this big bad world, in fact... He is allowing it for His purpose. It may seem to us like the world is spinning out of control, with the rise of Islam and the chaos in the middle east and the financial woes of Europe and the U.S. but God is holding the reins.
Have no fear, child of God, He is not too busy dealing with the nations that He doesn't have time for you. There is not a sparrow that falls to the ground without God knowing. He cares for you...He cared enough to show Himself in the flesh and die for you. You are safe in His hands because not only did He die for you but he rose victorious over death and hell. He conquered all and left nothing undone. He will do the same in your life if you let Him. You too can have the victory if you follow after Jesus.
