He Controls
 |
The king's heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will (Prov. 21.1). When the Lord desires to turn and/or control, as people reroute water to serve their purpose, the Lord easily does the same. He is in control over the affairs of man.
Do you think most members of the church--despite a mountain of biblical language to the contrary--think of God as being more "hands off" regarding earthly affairs (including governments) than the verses indicate?
