I did an internet search a couple of weeks ago for verses about God appointing rulers. I know I have shared them with a couple of people, but for anyone who feels discouraged and may have forgotten that God is Sovereign.....
Daniel 2:21 He (God) changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities , for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Colossians 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities ; all things were created by him and for him.
John 19:11 (speaking to Pilate) Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above . Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
Daniel 4:17 "`The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.'
Daniel 5:21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes.

This is the most valuable and sensible post I've seen in awhile! Thanks for the reminder. I think we all need it right now! Love the music on your blog - nice touch!
Good bible verses and it's true, Christ is the master that we serve and NOT man (or woman). God is in control of all things, and I think we as humans forget that many times ( I know I do sometimes).
These verses are a great comfort to me... I have been reading them even before seing them in your post and quoting them to myself when I start to hyperventilate. :)
