1 Chronicles 16:14

He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

No, Mr. William Ernest Henley, you are not “the master of your fate, the captain of your soul, “ as you say in your poem Invictus: and neither am I nor anyone else. “Know ye that the Lord, He is God, it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves.” All of the instinct and intelligence PROGRAMMED into us and all animals, insects and creatures did not result from a huge explosion of rock millions of years ago. It was PROGRAMMED; and where you have a program, you have a PROGRAMMER. He is thy LORD and honor thou Him. His judgments are in all the earth, whether floods, earthquake, and famines, or good health, a pay increase or happy, virtuous children. Honor Him by honoring His Son Jesus Christ who was crucified, entombed, and rose from the dead for our salvation.
