Our hope rests in the Sovereignty of God

You’ve no doubt heard the expression that “God is Sovereign”.

Essentially, what that means is that God has all power, knowledge, wisdom, and complete authority to do anything He chooses with His creation. He doesn’t need our help, nor is He required to ask our permission.

In other words…God is in charge of the world in which you and I live.

He’s in charge because, well, because He’s the only God there is.

⁶ “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
⁷ And who can proclaim as I do?
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
⁸ Do not fear, nor be afraid;
Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed there is no other Rock;
I know not one.”   Isaiah 44:6-8

In these troubled times, we can draw strength from these words of power and assurance.

God is in control of the future. Nothing will happen now or in any future generation that will take Him by surprise.

He is Sovereign.

Do not be fearful; do not allow fear to grip your heart and mind. To our minds it seems that the world is reeling from one chaotic event to another, but God is in total control. What we cannot see with our earthly eyes is that God is working to bring order to this chaos.

Our peace and our future are in the very capable hands of The Sovereign God. What I’m hearing from the Word of the Lord is to trust Him, and that is what I am endeavoring to do.

Be blessed!
