God’s Sovereignty
“Psalm 33:11 says, “But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever and the purposes of his heart through all generations .” In response to trials and testings in our lives, we start with the understanding that God is absolutely supreme in the lives of men. This passage reveals that each of us has a place in God’s kingdom. God has deliberately planned our lives. No event or circumstance takes him by surprise. He is on our side and makes the best choices for us. That doesn’t mean that we won’t go through difficulty. It simply means that we can trust and rely on his decisions. Eventually, the end thereof will be our betterment, whatever it involves.”
