| Dear Young Christian: |
| We are in Germany this week. Yesterday, there was a federal election in the country. Angela Merkel has won a fourth term as German Chancellor. |
| As we see things develop and evolve on the world stage, I am more and more thankful that the governments of this world have not been entrusted to the Church of God. The following verses show that God is in full control of the governments of this world, and puts whomever He wants into political office to accomplish His purposes: |
| “The Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the basest of men” (Daniel 4:17). |
| “For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God”(Romans 13:1). |
| We are citizens of heaven and on our way to“a better country, that is, an heavenly” (Hebrews 11:16). In the meantime, our responsibility is“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers” (Romans 13:1). |
| Your Christian Friend, |
| Jim Hyland |
| We would love to hear from you. |
