MAY 25, Proverbs 21:1

Which is the longest river in the world? It is the Nile River, and it is more than 6,000 kilometres long. That is a monster of a river! When we compare the Singapore River to the Nile, it is like comparing a small toothpick in our hand to a big tree in the park. When the waters of the Nile rage, they can be fearsome.

The Nile could bring life or death. Its waters quench thirst, it is a wonderful way of transportation and it also facilitates trade. However, its roaring waters can also cause drowning or capsizing of boats.

Today’s Bible verse teaches us that we need not fear man, for even the greatest of man - the king – is controlled by the Lord! God can change the heart of the King just like he can change the course of rivers.

Is there something that you are worried about or frightened of? Is your family having financial problems? Are your parents not getting along well and are quarrelling big time? Issomeone you love dearly in bad health?

Dear children, remember that God is in charge! And when He is in charge, it is to Him that we must turn to for help.

Thought: Everything is under the control of our Lord!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please teach me to trust in Thee at all times. Although my family or I may encounter problems, I know that Thou will watch over us. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
