Secure in His Sovereignty

“The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
and His sovereignty rules over all.” Psalm 103:19

Surely you can think back (perhaps without difficulty) to a time when you set your will against God’s, and chose your way instead of His. Now reconciled to His design for your life, you would be quick to say that going up against a Sovereign God is a “no win” situation.

Someone once said it this way: “Inside the will of God there is no failure; outside the will of God there is not success.” It is comforting to realize that the very perfection of God (His sovereignty) guarantees defeat if you oppose Him. God has always been in control. His perspective is different from ours. His plans are not frustrated by ours and as we were going our own way, He was still accomplishing His purposes.

From time to time you may not feel forgiven but by His very character He must keep His word. He does forgive. You did not spoil God’s plans when you chose your own wilful way. Be comforted knowing that His ultimate purpose will be established.

Remember Habakkuk 2:14 -“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”
