"Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes … hide me in the shadow
of your wings from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies
who surround me" - (Psalm 17:7-9, NIV).
Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest general of his day and one of the
greatest of all time. He was also an astute politician with an
unconquerable will to win. His goal was to rule the world and he
seemed well on his way to achieving that goal.
History records how he boasted, "Russia next, then Britain, and
Napoleon shall rule the world."
When leading his army enroute to conquer Russia, one tiny snowflake
fell on Napoleon, "Then another, and another, and another, and they
kept on falling until Napoleon's proud army was reeling back, broken
and defeated" not by an enemy's army nor even a single shot, but by a
mass of tiny snowflakes. Napoleon's response? "God almighty was too
much for me."
It's comforting to know that God is in control and that this world
and the life of each of us who put our trust in him are in his hands.

Prayer: "Our Loving Heavenly Father, again today I commit and trust my life and way to you as I do that of my (name your loved ones). 'O that you would bless us wonderfully. Please be with us in everything we do. Greatly expand our borders, and keep us from all evil and disaster.'- Prayer from 1 Chronicles 4:10. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus loving Name I Pray, Amen."
