Jeremiah chapter 27 verse 5

it is I who buy my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth with the men and animals that are on the earth and I give it to whomever it seems right to me right to me. What a statement. This is God speaking about his

sovereign power and authority over everything in all the earth.

And specifically he's talking about Nebuch and Erser, the King of Babylon.

And God is saying, Nebuchinezer only has power because I have let him have power.

Now this brings all kinds of questions to the surface, including questions we see God's people

asking in the Old Testament, why would God let Babylon have power? Why would God let the Babylon have power? Why would God let Assyrians have power at different points?

And those questions become all the more heavy when we think about how the Babylonians and Assyrians and

nations and leaders today do things with their power that are evil. I don't presume to dive into all those questions with answers in a couple

of minutes of a prayer podcast, but I do want to remind us when we look at the nations of the world, when we look at

leaders of the nations in the world, it is good to remember, Jeremiah 27-5,

that ultimately God has power over all of them.

That all of their power is limited. that God alone is unlimited in power,

unlimited in power, unlimited in authority,

and God is just and in the end his justice will be clear.

That's where this first ends I give it to whomever it seems right to me.
