2 Chronicles 22:7
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that he went to Joram. For when he came, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
We may not recognize the names as strong political figures today, but in their day, these were the shakers and movers. These were the men who ruled to large kingdoms. God caused one to join forces with the other for the sole purpose of destroying one. The alliances God allows to form on the face of the earth may scare some of us. The way some leaders align themselves with others for political gain may scare some of us or bother some of us. But, rejoice in this fact: God does nothing by accident and every move is calculated by His sovereign rule. Nothing we see is by chance. We may not like the candidate or believe he is what is best to govern the people, but God is in ultimate control and uses one for the destruction of the other. Do not fear - we may vote for leaders but it is God who selects the leader.
