READ: ISAIAH49:1-10
God is
Sovereign. He has the final say in all matters. When God told an angel to bring
the corpse of Moses, Satan opposed this, laying claim to the corpse. The angel
simply reported Satan to the Highest Authority, and this settled the matter
(Jude9). Whenever someone wants to stand in my way, I report the fellow to the
Most High. In Daniel 4:35, we discover that God is the Sovereign One: “All
the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; he does according to His
will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can
restrain His hand or say to Him, What have You one? ” God is the only
One who does what pleases Him. Nobody can challenge His actions. This brings
some major things into focus. First, if it seems as if He is promoting someone
above you, you cannot this and all you can do is accept His decision and never
grumble. He is God and there is none like Him or beside Him. He has settled
everything before the beginning of the world. He declares the end right from
the beginning. Second, whatever may be happening to you is what He has already
planned for your life. What is happening to your neighbour is what He has
already planned for hi or here. But if, rather than accepting His decision in
all matters, you seek to question His authority, you may be asking for trouble.
When God has made up His mind on what you will become, whether the devil likes
it or not, it will be so. He would do all His wishes. God does not take orders
from anyone. The Bible says: the pleasure of he Lord shall prosper in His hand.
MEMORIZE:
EXODUS3:14 –And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the children
of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
