Thoughts from Chip Ingram's book, "God As He Longs For You To See Him."
"When we say God is sovereign, we declare that by virtue of His creatorship over all life and reality, His all-knowing, all-powerful, and benevolent rule, that He is in fact the Lord of all lords, King of kings, and in absolute control of time and eternity. Nothing will come into my life today that He did not either allow or decree for my ultimate good."
"God is doing things that you don't understand, things that are deeper and better and more wonderful than you imagined, but you must believe! Refuse to worry. You can stop trying to manipulate situations and trying to figure out how to make them work out because you know Who is in control. You can rest in His sovereign goodness."
Amen
It seems like I hum a different hymn each week! I'm starting to think God is speaking to me through these hymns. This week it was, "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing." I especially like the third stanza.
"O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O, take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above."
