Romans 11:33   “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”

Deuteronomy 29:29      “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

Proverbs 21:1 “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.”

I try to keep abreast of current events in the world. The verses above keep me from feeling overwhelmed, and keep me humble before God, who alone is good and sovereign over all. I don’t have to know all the details. It’s not necessary for me to worry, fear, or figure out how things will work out. That is for God to know and decide...and for me to trust in Him. However, news is important to me so that I would know how to pray for others, even if they are from another culture and country different from mine. ( I.e. the survivors of the Japan Tsunami, Syrian refugees, etc.)
