Thank You for reading this post and for sharing it with others within your social network.

The decision is still pending and it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out. But don’t worry – God is the one that is in control – no matter who thinks they are.

Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to read could be true because it could be your stroy. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Louie and James were friends who lived in a little quite town near Somewhere OverThere. One day one of the friends – Louie, got into some trouble and had to go to court.

Proverbs 21:1 – The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water, he turns it wherever he will.

You see, the crime he supposedly had committed was a circumstantial one, at best . One that could turn out either way. He had killed a neighbor’s animal – a mean old donkey named Felix – by accident.

But it looked like Louie did it on purpose because many times before the incident he was heard saying, “That Felix kick my fence down one more time, I’m going to kill him.” On the day of the incident the friend’s fence was laying on the ground. And near it laid Felix dead.

Well the local authorities were called, Louie was arrested and placed in jail waiting to face charges for animal cruelty. The King of the land was a lover of all life and days before the incident had made a decree that any harm against any person or any animal in the land would be grounds for trial against the offender to the highest extent of the law of the land.

What makes this matter even worse is Louie was told by John the Jailer that his case was going to be tried by the King of the land himself because the animal, Louie had “supposedly” killed was one of the King’s prized animals which was being raised by Louie’s neighbor.

On the day of the trial Louie and James, had a chance to visit before the court appearance time.

And the jailed friend said, “Its no use. The King will not believe that I didnt mean to do it. That it was a freak accident”. Felix somehow got his head stuck in the fence. I was trying to get him out. But the fence fell over on him and killed him.” He explained, “But its no use. I know he thinks I’m guilty. So I’m going to plead guilty, just to get it over with.”

His friend, James, couldn’t believe what he heard. His friend was going to plead guilty to a crime that he said he didn’t commit.

Not because the evidence would show beyond a reasonable doubt that he could be innocent. But because he could not believe beyond his unfounded doubt of his own innocence.

James replied, “No, Louie! Dont give up! There is still a chance. Even if the King thinks you may be guilty of killing his prize donkey, on the day he was told about it. That doesn’t mean he thinks that right now. There is still a chance that he will change his mind”.

I said all that to say this….

That’s what Proverbs 21 is all about. The king is the one that has the final judgement in any manner. As a matter of fact a king has the authority of judgment at the beginning, throughout the middle until the end in any given situation.

However it is God who is the one who controls the heart of the king. And He directs it like he would channel the way of flowing water.

As a matter of fact if God so desires he can have water flow up hill because he has the authority over gravity.

In other words no matter what you have done or whatever circumstances you are facing…God is always in control of the outcome.

If you are facing a judgement type of situation today – for whatever reason there is….
