A verse for 10/19/12

Rom 11:33  Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

Rom 11:34  "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

Rom 11:35  "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"

Rom 11:36  For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. 

A quote from “The sovereignty of God” Arthur Pink

“The Lord God omnipotent reigneth. His government is exercised over the inanimate matter, over angles good and evil, and over Satan himself. No revolving world, no shining of star, no storm, no creature moves, no actions of men, no errands of angels, no deeds of Devil-nothing in all the vast universe can come to pass otherwise than God has eternally purposed. Here is a foundation for faith. Here is a resting place for the intellect. Here is an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast. It is not blind fate, unbridled evil, man or Devil, but the Lord Almighty who is ruling the world, ruling it according to His own good pleasure and for His own eternal glory.”

          “Ten thousand ages ere the skies

          Were into motion brought;

          All the long years and worlds to come,

          Stood present to His thought:

          There’s not a sparrow nor a worm,

          But’s found in His decrees,

          He raises monarchs to their thrones

          And sinks as He may please.”
