"The Lord of History"

Reading: Daniel 2:19-23 (God reveals mysteries and controls kingdoms)

Devotional: Nahum prophesied specific details about Nineveh's fall decades before they occurred—scarlet uniforms, flooding rivers, complete destruction. These weren't lucky guesses but divine foreknowledge. God orchestrates history with precision, working through kings, armies, and even weather patterns to fulfill His purposes. Ashurbanipal's mighty empire crumbled exactly as predicted because "the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets." This truth should anchor your soul during uncertain times. Elections, economies, and empires rise and fall under His sovereign hand. You're not at the mercy of chaos but under the care of the Lord of history. Rest in His control today.
