"The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1
The Kings heart; what King? All the Kings of the earth without exception. So many people today fail to understand the power and control of God. They forget that there is not anything out of His control. God has a plan and that plan is called the predestinated, ordained will of God. People fail to understand the smallest basics of God and that is He controls everything, period. To one who understands God understands this to an elementary level of understanding. One will never understand God until they understand His sovereignty. This must be understood in order to understand that God is in control. Once the control is understood then one can understand that all things happen in Gods control. Once one reaches this point in Theology the ignorant statement that "God can't change mans will" becomes a laughable statement. God control the heart of all kings and God controls everything else including mans will. John wrote in Revelation 17:17 "For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled." Some people get confused when we say that God set all Presidents in office when some were good men and others were not good. However, God not only set them in office but also controlled their hearts to fulfill His will. God will continue to control world leaders, religious leaders, and agnostic leaders to bring forth the Tribulation Period. I believe in this flesh we will never have a deep knowledge of just how controlling and powerful God truly is. We can only understand as much as God has allowed us too. We do know that He is the Potter and we are the clay, He will mold us all as He chooses for us to be. We also know that our days are numbered and we cannot pass the time He has set for us. We also know that He saves sinners and one cannot be saved without Him personally doing it. He control the weather, He controls all disasters, He controls everything. I do not claim to know everything but these things are all fact of the scripture, and that is undisputable. One cannot teach Theology if they do not understand the basics of God. So we ask this test question; what in all creation is not in Gods control or will? The answer; NOTHING. He "... turneth it whithersoever he will." God controls the flow of the rivers. We also see; "That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:" Isaiah 44:27 "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." Revelation 16:12 Don't be fooled by people who do not know the basics of God, don't let them tell you "God can't" God can and God does. we may not always understand the ways of God but believe me, if it happened, then God controlled it just as He controls the hearts of the kings of this world.
