Sovereign God

Yesterday’s sermon talked about God’s sovereignty even over resistance to Jesus and His work. (Read or hear the whole thing here: http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Sermons/ByDate/2009/4438_It_Is_the_Spirit_That_Gives_Life/)

God is sovereign over enemies.
God is sovereign over traffic.
God is sovereign over weather.
God is sovereign over health.
God is sovereign over schedules.
God is sovereign over governments.
God is sovereign over conversations.
God is sovereign over temperaments.
God is sovereign over families.
God is sovereign over misunderstandings.
God is sovereign over motives.
God is sovereign over computers.
God is sovereign over forgetfulness.
God is sovereign over inclinations.
God is sovereign over inconveniences.
God is sovereign over ideas.
God is sovereign over needs.

“Stilled now be every anxious care;
See God’s great goodness everywhere;
Leave all to Him in perfect rest:
He will do all things for the best”

(Elisabeth Elliot, Keep a Quiet Heart, p. 206).

“Do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek first His kingdom, and these things will be added to you” (Luke 12:29-31).

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).

“Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

“Do not fret because of evildoers; be not envious toward wrongdoers… Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing” (Psalm 37:1, 8b).
