Tho' The Wrong

This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget that
though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.

by M. Babcock

King Nebuchadnezzar had determined to kill Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, so he threw them into the firey furnace. To be sure they wouldn’t escape, he heated the fire seven times hotter than usual, and bound their hands and feet.

But God…is the Ruler yet.

King Darius, persuaded by his administrators and advisors, threw Daniel into the lion’s den. To make sure he wouldn’t escape, they brought a stone to cover the mouth of the den and the king sealed it.

But God…is the Ruler yet.

After Jesus was buried, they rolled a huge stone across the opening of Jesus’ tomb and set guards so that He couldn’t escape.

But God…is the Ruler yet.

The Roman magistrates in Philippi imprisoned Paul and Silas for freeing a young woman from devils. Not only did they strip and beat them, they severely flogged them, put them into an inner cell of the prison, and fastened their feet in stocks, to make sure they didn’t escape.

But God…is the Ruler yet.

HE always has the last word!!
