God Is In Charge, Always

Good Morning!! To say that God is sovereign, is just another way of saying that God is God. And if we truly are God's property,...God has the right to do as He pleases. We have only to accept that He is in charge,...and that He is working His Will,...and accomplishing His purposes. But even more importantly,...recognizing the truth of God's sovereignty, gives us the right view, of the character of God. 

Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.—Psalm 115:3 (NIV)

This truth provides a great sense of security and hope for His people. We see that no vicious enemy, no catastrophic event, we fear no unexpected trial,...once we truly understand, that nothing can affect God's sovereign reign. God's sovereignty also gives assurance in salvation. We see that human merit, or mere human choice, is not the basis of salvation,...rather, it is all of grace originating with God's choice, being based on the death of His Son, and ultimately consummated because of His effectual work.

Understanding the truth of sovereignty will evoke praise to His great name, because we recognize all glory belongs to Him.

My Lord, My God, even if the earth is removed, or the mountains carried into the sea, You are our refuge. And we are assured that even a long night of affliction, can be turned into brightness,...as You, our Heavenly Father, teaches His children in our times of trouble. Amen.

"Take sin seriously,...God does."
