Who can say to Him, 'What are You doing?' Job 9:12 (NKJV)
God's sovereignty is closely linked with His omnipotence (see yesterday). But there's an important difference between the two. God's omnipotence speaks of His sheer ability, but sovereignty speaks of His authority to act upon that ability. Not only can He control everything, He actually does control everything.
For some, that's a scary thought. When they think of God being in absolute control over all things, they begin to sweat. They don't like it. They don't like Him being in control. They'd rather control things themselves, they'd rather be in authority and make the decisions. But that's only because they don't know Him.
Admittedly, God's sovereignty would be a scary thing if it stood all alone. But when it's combined with His other attributes-His holiness, His mercy, His love, His patience, His faithfulness, etc.-it becomes quite clear that there's nobody better suited to be in complete control.
There's no other hand we'd rather have on this world's wheel, and God's sovereignty is something that ought to bring joy instead of apprehension.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure....' (Isaiah 46:10 NKJV)
What does this passage reveal to me about God?
