When so discouraged recently, and praying over thesituation of the USA with so many of our political leaders uttering and livingin lies,  my wife Margaret shared with me whatshe had just written in her personal devotions that morning, “God rules all history(His-story) – the coming and goings of kings and rulers, the rise and fall ofempires and nations, the beginning and ending, and usefulness of organizationsand missions.”
 “…as I haveplanned; so shall it be; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand … this isthe purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth and this is the handthat is stretched out over all nations. For the Lord of Hosts has purposed andwho will annul it?  His hand is stretchout, who will turn it back?” Isaiah 14: 24, 26, 27 (esv).
“Our God rules in the individual lives of people onearth.  In my life … Psalm 57:2 (esv), ‘Icry out to God most, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.’” 
Whether individuals acknowledge God or not, He iscontrolling each or their lives – for righteousness, good, or for judgment. Proverbs19:21 (esv), “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose ofthe Lord that will stand!’
