Sovereign Supervision
The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.
PSALM 103.19
The events of your life aren’t unfolding by random chance. A sovereign God rules over what happens in this small space-time box called Earth. The world is not hanging in the balance, with the outcome yet to be determined. Some people seem to believe that the throngs of heaven are on one side of the stadium and the demons of hell are on the other, each hoping their side wins. Within the context of this twisted theology, it becomes man’s decisions that determine who wins, and meanwhile, God is keeping His fingers crossed. With that perspective, it’s no wonder that so few find spiritual rest!
That line of thinking is nothing less than religious humanism. It is an insult to God’s sovereignty. It puts man in the driver’s seat and makes God nothing more than a nervous passenger who is doing all He can do to make sure everything turns out all right. God is portrayed as sometimes encouraging us, sometimes threatening us, but always hoping that we will respond in the right way.
All of heaven isn’t holding its breath waiting to see how things turn out in the end. Your God superintends this world and your life. Affirm His sovereignty and experience peace as the result.
