God Is In Control (17 of 18)
Series: Unfinished - Acts
Tim Badal
Acts 12
As we come to Acts 12, we see that God has been doing a lot of amazing things in the early church. We've watched how God's people have been faithful in the middle of great triumph, as well as great tragedy and trial. Because of their faithfulness, God has been expanding His Kingdom, not only to Jews but also to the Gentiles; not only in Jerusalem, but now to the uttermost parts of the world.
Our text this morning will remind us of one very important truth that each of us needs to tattoo somewhere on our bodies so we never forget it. We need to put it on our refrigerators or bathroom mirrors. We need to make it the desktop picture on all our devices. What is that truth? It's that God is in control.
The reason we need to remember this is that everything in our world-and I mean everything-tells us otherwise. As we're looking at our own circumstances and daily experiences, it seems that things are out of control. When we look at the geopolitical world around us, it looks as though it could fall apart at any moment.
But over and over in Scripture we are reminded that God is in control. He has His hands firmly on the steering wheel. He did in Acts 12 and He still does in 2018. So even if you feel your life is out of control, I'm here to tell you that no matter what you're dealing with, God is in control. This should give you great peace and bring great joy. It should take all fear and anxiety from your hearts, knowing that your heavenly Father loves and cares for you.
Paul is reminding us, as we wake up each morning, that all the details of our day will not surprise God. Nothing goes by His desk without Him giving some level of approval to the things that will come our way. Because of this, we can have confidence that He will take us through our day-because He is in control.
Why is this so important? In Acts 12, what we're going to see is not the good, the bad and the ugly; ...
