GOD IS SOVEREIGN

When I was a Sunday School teacher every lecture began with a prayer and a re-enforcement of the fact that God is Sovereign. That is fundamental. Everything after that is subject to the will of God...everything!

 

When did God assume the Throne? He has been God forever. How old is the earth? Billions of years old. Some explain that once upon a time it was created by a "big bang" and everything began. Matter and gases coming together at some unexplicable moment to form the universe. The world just happened. My wife always questions this theory with a childlike question, "Who created the matter and gases?".

 

The Bible provides many answers and evokes many questions that are left unanswered. Faith and study of the Bible will bring peace and reconciliation to you.

 

I personally lean heavily toward Theistic Evolution wherein life and the species of all life were created by God and evolved under God's expert hand. I can't prove my befief is the absolute answer but as long as we believe, trust and surrender to John 3:16, theories, denominations and apologetic defenses of positions simply do not matter.

 

My life, from a child, has the Trinity as the Source of all things. This season is a good time to quietly reflect on the Sovereignty of God, the power, guidance and teachings of the Holy Spirit and the loving saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

God has been God forever. Eternity has no beginning and no ending and we are all part of it, like it or not. Take time to think and decide where you will spend the balance of eternity.

 

The Bible clearly gives a timeline of Jesus' birth and it wasn't December 25th of any year. That date just attached itself to a non-Christian celebration. Celebrate the birth of Jesus everyday and be careful to not let Santa Claus push the baby Jesus out of the limelight of the day that tradition has set aside as the day of the birth of our Savior. Honor Him...not the merchants.

 

 

Peace to you all!!!!
