Psalm 115:3, “Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases!”
Psalm 135:5-6, “I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. The LORD does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths!”
Isaiah 46:10, “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.”
Ephesians 1:11, “In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will!”
Scripture clearly teaches that the Almighty Creator maintains sovereign, absolute, uncompromising control over every aspect of His vast universe.
Not a single molecule or particle in all of existence operates outside of God’s sovereign dominion.
The same divine hand that sets the stars in their courses, also directs the smallest details of our individual lives.
Whether triumph or tragedy; whether success or suffering–nothing occurs without first passing through the filter of God’s all-wise and sovereign will, and His eternal plan.
The notions of chance or luck or accident–are merely heathen philosophies.
Every event, every circumstance, and every outcome is meticulously orchestrated by the sovereign Lord who reigns supremely over all.
As Christians, we should find unwavering confidence, comfort and security in the truth that the same God who governs His universe, also intimately directs and wisely orders every detail of our lives.
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!” Romans 8:28
