God Is Our True Leader
It’s no secret—life feels heavy these days. Politics are full of anger, people look down on those who are struggling, science brings more questions than answers, and many businesses are hanging by a thread. With so much confusion and pressure, it’s easy to wonder who’s really in charge. But here’s the truth: God is still leading, and He is our help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
When things fall apart around us, our response doesn’t have to be fear or frustration. Instead, we can choose joy. The Colorado Mass Choir sings it perfectly in their song “I Still Have Joy”: “…After all, after everything I've seen, thank God I still have joy.” That kind of joy—the kind that survives the storm—isn’t based on circumstances. It comes from knowing that the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). It’s what keeps us going when life gets rough.
What’s in our hearts eventually shows up in our words (Luke 6:45). So, what are we speaking over our lives? Are we repeating what we hear on the news, or are we declaring what God says? Yes, the world has its mess, but we have a message: we will see God’s goodness (Psalm 27:13). We won’t be ruled by fear, because God is with us—and if He is for us, nothing can stand against us (Psalm 23:4, Psalm 56:9).
No matter how difficult things get, God is more than enough. He promises to meet every need—big or small (Philippians 4:19). So, let’s move forward with confidence and joy, trusting that God is our leader, and He’s already working all things together for our good. Keep your head up. Keep your heart open. God’s still in control.
