God Is Sovereign Over All Creation, Both Physical And Spiritual
He “works ALL things according to the counsel of his will.”
Ephesians 1:11
He does whatever He wants, and no one can stop him.
(Psalm 115:3; Daniel 4:34-35)
The Word of God teaches us that God’s sovereignty is absolute and cannot be limited by human understanding. He knows all things and has predestined everything according to His will and for His glory. We cannot fully comprehend His sovereignty because we are not sovereign, but we can gain understanding through the guidance of His Spirit and the study of His Word.
As we delve into the depths of God’s Word, we can see that He is not bound by the constraints of time. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and His existence transcends the limitations of our earthly understanding. In His infinite wisdom, He created all things before time even began, and His divine plan unfolds before us as if it is happening in the present moment.
As mortal beings, we are confined to the linear progression of time, moving forward from one moment to the next. However, God sees all things at once, and His omniscience enables Him to know the past, present, and future simultaneously. We can only recall what has already passed, but God perceives every moment as it unfolds before Him.
Let us take comfort in the fact that our God is not limited by time, and His promises extend beyond the boundaries of our earthly existence. As we seek to understand His Word and draw closer to Him, may we be reminded that He is the eternal God, and His love endures forever.
“When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.”
Psalm 104:30
SOMETHING TO PONDER:
God is always at work, bringing forth new life and renewing everything. Nature reminds us of this with each new season, as flowers bloom in the spring and leaves change colors in the fall. Even in times of change and uncertainty, God is constantly at work.
I find comfort knowing that God is still at work even during difficult times and I trust in God’s plan for my life.
Using our own gifts and talents to join in God’s creative work can bring beauty, goodness, hope, and joy to the world.
Even during difficult times, we can trust that God is using the difficult times to shape us and bring about our sanctification. We are called to use our talents and gifts to serve others and bring goodness into the world. We can find comfort in knowing that God is always at work in our lives and the world, and we can join in His creative work.
