Main Thought:
Our God is Lord over the whole earth. The nations which vie for power over small bits of land should consider that the counsels of the Lord stand forever.
Psalm 33:8–15
Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
The Lord looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
from where he sits enthroned he looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
Prayer
Lord of Hosts, by Your almighty power You have brought the nations into being and by Your grace You have called them to salvation. Teach us ever to trust in You have revealed Your counsel to us in Holy Scripture that we may receive the eternal heritage reserved for Your people. Amen.
