The Lie: God Has Lost Control of Everything

Psalm 23:4

 Even in our darkest moments of life, God is there, cares, and can be relied on to ultimately make things right.

 God Is All-Knowing (Job 12:13)

Wwe can be confident that He is in complete control of everything that happens in human history, regardless of the way things appear.

 God Is All-Powerful (Psalm 62:11; Isaiah 55:8)

If there is one single person or circumstance that can take power from God or exercise power over Him, He is not in control.

God is Everywhere at Once (Psalm 139:7-8)

God Is Just

 God always responds to people's behavior equally, fairly, and rightly.

God Is Unchangeable (Malachi 3:6; James 1:17; Hebrews 13:8)

 With God there are never any variations in who He is.

 God Gives Us Free Will (Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 8:9-11; John 7:17; Genesis 6:5-6)

 If you wonder why the world seems deeply troubled, it’s because we keep making bad choices.
