       I want us to take a moment, on a basic level, and think about the past, like we did in reviewing the Cuban Missile Crisis. Let’s think about God. Indeed, whether we go all the way back to the beginning of time, some 6,000 years ago, or whether we go back to the times of Abraham, or even the times of Moses, or we could go back to the times of Christ, or perhaps even closer than that the time of King Arthur (assuming he was real)—we would find that no matter what time we consider—no matter what era it is—there is always one thing that is consistent. And that one thing is that God is in control. He led people through times of peace and times of war in the past, no matter what you consider, and he will get us through times of trial and trouble in this day and age. God doesn’t change, and he is in complete control of everything, as he has always been. We can look at the past for full assurance of the future. So, considering this, what does this mean for us, as Christians? It means that knowing God has always been in control and that he still is in control, we can have full assurance of faith that no matter what comes into our lives.
