Når mektige verdensherskere møter Gud

from Tapas for troen · host Norea Mediemisjon

"Nå har jeg overgitt alle disse landene i min tjener Nebukadnesars hånd, Babels konge. Også dyrene på marken har jeg gitt ham så de skal tjene ham." (Jer. 27, 6)Ja, dette er interessant! Nebukadnesar, en brutal og grusom verdenshersker, men også en som Gud kalte sin tjener, eller redskap. Gud hadde ikke behag i alt Nebukadnesar gjorde og skulle en dag straffe ham (25,12). Samtidig handlet Han med denne hedningekongen på imponerende vis. Da Nebukadnesars hovmod gikk ham til hodet, slo Guds profeti til. Nebukadnesar ble gal og levde som et dyr, vekke fra folk i lang tid. Da tiden var omme, fikk han forstanden tilbake og ga Gud ære, kan vi lese (v. 31-37).Med makt ligger hovmodet på lur, og Gud må bruke kraftig lut for å vise mektige menn hvem Han er. Ingen menneskelig hersker er for vanskelig for Gud, hvor mektig han enn er i menneskers øyne. Gud bøyer dem dit Han vil, sier Bibelen (Ord. 21,1). Vi gjør lurt i å lytte til noen av Nebukadnesars ord. Han sa: "Jeg, Nebukadnesar, priser og opphøyer og ærer nå Himmelens konge. Alle Hans gjerninger er sannhet, og Hans veier er rette. De som vandrer i hovmod, har Han makt til å styrte ned." (Dan. 4,37). Ja, la oss ta med oss de ordene i dag, når vi ser på mektige verdensherskere. Og så kan vi minne oss selv på, og Gud, at selv disse mektige herskerne er ikke noe mer enn bekker av rennende vann i Hans hånd. Han styrer dem dit Han vil, og Han styrter dem når Han vil. Og så kan vi be for de, at Gud må vise sin herlighet på dem!Skrevet og lest av Eli Fuglestad for Norea Håpets Kvinner.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
