Sovereign

My wife called this morning, and she’d been sideswiped in a hit and run. God is sovereign. My oldest daughter called asking for prayer; she is struggling. The other is in the ER with the flu. Both are over a thousand miles away. God is sovereign. I’m feeling sick today. Could be coming down with something. God is sovereign.

Sovereign means He rules over all of creation. Sovereign means that nothing happens that He has not authorized. Sovereign means He has a plan, and that plan will not be interrupted or stopped.

I don’t know why today seemed out of control. In reality, there was no part of this day that wasn’t completely in His control. How are these things in His plan? I have no idea. This is not what I would have planned. But I believe he knows what He’s doing.

Here’s a quote I re-posted on my Instagram today by J. Vernon McGee.

“This is God’s universe, and He does things His way. You may (think you) have a better way to do it, but you don’t have a universe.”

Thanks, J. You put things in perspective for me.
