The King's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like a rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
Heavenly Father, You are our Sovereign, and it is challenging to our simple minds to understand that chaos of the world is your work, and you allow it. As we gaze upon a river and think it is flowing a random pattern, we realize it is following in the direction of Your hand. Since the beginning of the creation of the world Your invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, so there is no excuse not to glorify You. Nor are we thankful but are futile in our thoughts and our foolish hearts are darkened. Many profess to be wise are fools, changing the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man. So, you gave them up to uncleanness, in the lust of their hearts to dishonor their bodies among themselves. Forgive us Lord for exchanging the truth of who You are for the lie and worshiping the creature rather than Our Creator who is blessed forever. Nature itself speaks eloquently of You. Open our eyes to see and appreciate Your goodness. Father, please turn the hearts of the prodigal back to you to flow with living water You are Almighty and all-powerful God. You desire that all should come to saving faith in Jesus Christ who paid the ransom for all. Draw them with your lovingkindness. Help us Lord to bear witness and testify of this truth. Grant us boldness. Jesus You are the way, and, in your name, we pray Amen.
Romans 1
