The Signs of the Times, Sovereignly, Providentially Ordered and Controlled:
Proverbs 16:1,9,4: “1 The plans of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD…..9 The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps…..4 The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, Even the wicked for the day of evil.”
Proverbs 21:1: “1 The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.’”
II Timothy 3:1-7: “1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these. 6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Isaiah 46:8-10: “8 “Remember this and be sure; recall it to mind you transgressors. 9 Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me. 10Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’”
Isaiah 55:9-11: “9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”
Be gratefully and joyfully comforted by and confident in this testimony of the Living Word of our Sovereign Living God.
