God Is in Control
Dr. Darrow Perkins
Psalm 99:1-5
Life is full of uncertainty. It seems that we're not sure when things will take place or when our next ''whatever'' will arrive or be in our presence. For example, we're not sure what will take place tomorrow, we just know that we make plans and preparations for tomorrow in the hopes that our plans will come to pass. Although this is a good plan, still, the uncertainty is there. Being that there's uncertainty in the fact that we don't know what tomorrow holds, we have hope in the fact that we can hold on to the One who holds tomorrow. Truly God is in Control.

Knowing that we don't have the control, God still makes sure our needs are met in all situations in life. His word declares in Philippians 4:19, ''But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.'' This statement alone ensures for us that God is in Control!''

This psalm in particular is a psalm of praise written by King David. According to C. H. Spurgeon, noted preacher and theologian from the 19th century, shares, ''This may be called THE SANCTUS, or, THE HOLY, HOLY, HOLY PSALM, for the word ''holy'' is the conclusion and the refrain of its three main divisions. Its subject is the holiness of the divine government, the sanctity of the mediatorial reign.'' It declares the holiness of God and shows his power for all to see and know. It ...
