Grappling with God’s Sovereignty Isaiah 55:9 – For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God’s sovereignty and His purposes Romans 8:28 Tragedies and injustices fit in the process of God’s good purposes whether or not I ever understand.

God is Sovereign! Job 42:2 "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. Psalms 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. Isaiah 43:13 "Even from eternity I am He, And there is none who can deliver out of My hand; I act and who can reverse it?" Isaiah 46:10 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; Daniel 4:35 "All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, 'What have You done?' Romans 9:19-21 For who resists His will?" On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? James 4:15 … you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.“ Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God’s sovereignty and His purposes Romans 8:28 Tragedies and injustices fit in the process of God’s good purposes whether or not I ever understand. In spite of my sin God uses me for His good purposes when I truly love him. God may bless me for his purposes in spite of my sin, not because of my righteousness. Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
