6/6/13

The Bible is overwhelmingly clear that God governs everything in the universe from the smallest bird to the largest storm.

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father" (Matthew 10:29)

"Even winds and sea obey him" (Matthew 8:27)

"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord" (Proverbs 16:33)

"The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will" (Proverbs 21:1)

"Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?" (Lamentations 3:37)

"Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it?" (Amos 3:6)

"He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him" (Mark 1:27)

"I am God, and there is none like me . . . saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose'" (Isaiah 46:9-10).

There is no person or being in the universe that can thwart the sovereign will of God.  Not even you can stop Him from His plan, even while you are still sinful.

Rom 5:8  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Rom 5:9  Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
