~ God Governs ~

 

Introduction ~ Benjamin Franklin was not a Christian—he was a deist. He is nearly universally considered to have been a very smart man. Listen to what he said:

 

Quote ~ “I have lived… a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice[a], is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured… in the sacred writings, that ‘except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it’[b].”

 

Comment ~ It was Ben Franklin who suggested that the Constitutional Convention should seek God’s blessing in an opening prayer at every session!

 

Scripture ~ [a] Jesus said, “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:6-7).

 

[b] “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

 

~ Robert Lloyd Russell, ABUNDANT LIFE NOW blog.
