*TOPIC: THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD*
*Read: Ephesians 1:9-11*
*MEMORISE: _In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will_ (Ephesians 1:11).*
*EXPOSITION*
Some people questioned whether the Lord is truly in control. They looked at tragedies in the world and wonder, if perhaps God is not powerful enough to overcome all evil. Or they encounter what seems like an insurmountable obstacle in their own lives and come to the conclusion, _Maybe His power is limited._
Brethren, we do not understand everything that happens in this life. But we know from the Scripture that God has ultimate authority: *The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all (Psa. 103:19).*
Consider the far-reaching implications of these words, it is clear that the Lord has complete control in all the universe-He reigns over everything and everyone, and His power is greater than all other strength. The _terms omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient_ are frequently used to describe Him. In other words, our God is all-powerful. He exists everywhere, and He is all-knowing-which means there is nothing beyond His awareness or His ability to direct and manage. And this limitless, unfathomable God, who is unhindered and fully in control, adopts us as His children. What an amazing thought! As we begin to grasp this truth, peace and rest flood our souls.
As you step out today, if you believe the Lord is all-powerful, is that idea simply “head knowledge,” or does it affect the way you think and feel? When you realise that nothing happens apart from God’s awareness, direction and loving purpose, it becomes possible to lay down worry and fear, and truly experience His peace.
*PRAYER POINTS*
*1.* Lord, let all Christians throughout the universe engender meaningful relationship with Christ, today and beyond.
*2.* Lord, I lay down my worry and fear to truly experience Your peace as I step out today.
*3.* Lord, come to the aid of all those passing through terrible situations in their lives’ endeavours.
*EXTRA READING FOR TODAY:* Deuteronomy 14:22 – 17:11; Luke 1:78 – 2:19
