Today's reading is Psalms 33-37
In this wonderful psalm of praise, there is a verse which at times seems not to be true. "The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples" Psalms 33:10.
There are times which this doesn't seem to be true but look at history. Have any of the tyrants of old remain? What of those who have tried to rule the world, or control great swaths of people? They have all failed. Their time passed. Some have been overthrown, others have died, but all have gone.
Yes, we could give credit to time and the change of people, but those that look to God praise him for all. No, he might not have shot the gun which brought down a dictator, nor forces people to rise up against a government, but he gives us all the life to do what we do. We also know that he ultimately will weave the dark threads of mankind into his own tapestry to create something beyond belief.
