Day 7: Universal and absolute

I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

"Although the sovereignty of God is universal and absolute, it is not the sovereignty of blind power. It is coupled with infinite wisdom, holiness and love. And this doctrine, when properly understood, is a most comforting and reassuring one.

Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness and love, rather than to have them left to fate, or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to short-sighted and perverted self?

Those who reject God's sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left."

~ Loraine Boettner

God Almighty! King of nations! earth Thy footstool, heaven Thy throne!

Thine the greatness, power, and glory. Thine the kingdom, Lord, alone!

Life and death are in Thy keeping, and Thy will ordaineth all:

From the armies of Thy heavens to an unseen insect's fall.

Reigning, guiding, all-commanding, ruling myriad worlds of light;

Now exalting, now abasing, none can stay Thy hand of might!

Working all things by Thy power, by the counsel of Thy will,

Thou art God! enough to know it, and to hear Thy word, "Be still!"

In Thy sovereignty rejoicing, we Thy children bow and praise,

For we know that kind and loving, just and true, are all Thy ways.
