What about: “World events are under His control?”
Revelation 9:15
Daniel 4:34
Daniel 2:21
Psalms 29:3-10
1 Corinthians: 15:27
Ultimately, of course God is in control, he is after all the final judge of all of our lives.
As I noted in an earlier post if we weren't given the gift of free will then there would be no evil in this world. People choose to be evil, it exists because we have been blessed with free will.
God does not prefer a particular course of political action nor does he interfere with our political squabbles. It's up to each individual exercising their free will to make those choices. Human history is littered with governments and tyrants making evil decisions and the misery and devastation left in their wake.
Because God allows us to choose evil it does not mean he is indifferent to the consequences. I believe all whose lives are snuffed out because of the evil pervasive in the world enjoy a special place in the Kingdom of the Lord, remember God's promise is eternal life and it is how we lead our lives, being given the power of free will that we well be judged on.
Knowing most of us are to weak to handle free will he gave us his only son so that our sins may be forgiven. It's up to each individual to choose the right path, on his/her journey through this short life. God has given all of us who believe in him the choice to follow his word, he is not going to make us do it nor is he going to make the world safe, that's the job for all of us...
