Sovereign Comfort

By | September 13, 2005

I was reflecting on the Sovereignty of God and how this adds an element of excitement and “zang” to life.

I don’t know a lot of things, including what I will be doing next summer, what job I will be employed at in 3 years, whom I will marry, or where I will be living in the future. I have no clue how much money God will give me or how many children I’ll have. While these elements may seem mysterious (and at times frightening) to me, I can trust that God is in control of all things. I can’t go wrong because even my mistakes will be for His glory.

Rom 8:28-32

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
