God Rules!
神掌权！
by Don Fortner
作者：唐·福特纳
Our God is in control of this world- absolutely in control of it (Ps. 76:10).
我们的神掌管这个世界——完全地掌管着它（诗篇76:10）。
God, and God alone, is in absolute, total control of the entire universe.
神，唯有神，完全地、绝对地掌管着整个宇宙。
We can and should trust Him with implicit confidence in all things, and with all things.
我们能够且应当在万事上完全信靠祂。
The Word of God, the promises of God, the prophecies of Holy Scripture are all utterly meaningless unless our God is the God who rules everything, whose will is always performed, whose purpose stands fast, whose thoughts are irresistible!
神的话语、神的应许、圣经的预言若不是出于这位掌管一切的神，就都毫无意义，祂的旨意永远成就，祂的计划坚立不移，祂的意念不可抗拒！
Here is the basis of our faith and the foundation of our comfort- Our God is in control- as fully in control of Satan, the demons of hell, and the thoughts and deeds of wicked men as he is of the angels about his throne.
这是我们信仰的基础和安慰的根基——我们的神掌权——祂掌管撒但、地狱的邪灵、恶人的思想和行为，如同掌管祂宝座周围的天使一样。
We live in a world of woe.
我们生活在一个充满苦难的世界。
We are often tossed to and fro in this world, confused and perplexed by many things.
我们常在这世上飘摇不定，被许多事物困惑和迷惑。
Let us ever rest ourselves in our God.
让我们永远安息在我们的神里面。
“All things are of God.”
“万物都本于神。”
All things are ordered by our heavenly Father for our good.
万事都是我们的天父为了我们的益处所安排的。
All things are arranged by God’s infinite wisdom and omnipotent arm for his glory.
万事都是神以无限的智慧和全能的膀臂为祂的荣耀所安排的。
Nothing is beyond his dominion.
没有什么事物超出祂的主权。
If the god you trust can be controlled, hindered, or even influenced by you, by Satan, or by all the powers of earth and hell, then the god you trust is no God at all, and you are an idolater.
如果你所信靠的神能被你、撒但或地上和地狱的一切权势所控制、拦阻甚至影响，那么你所信靠的神根本就不是神，你乃是拜偶像的人。
Our God is not a spectator or even a competitor in this world.
我们的神不是这世界的旁观者，也不是竞争者。
He is the Ruler of it.
祂是这世界的统治者。
Salvation is knowing him, the only true and living God as he is revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ his Son, the God-man, our Savior (John 17:3).
救恩就是认识祂，这位唯一真实永活的神，正如祂在祂的儿子，主耶稣基督，神人，我们的救主里所启示的那样（约翰福音17:3）。
He who is our God is the only God you can trust.
祂是我们的神，是你唯一可以信靠的神。
