Our God Is Sovereign!

His Sovereignty Part II
“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?” Daniel 4:35

King Nebuchadnezzar found out about the Sovereignty of God after a dream which only Daniel could interpret and refused to obey Gods command and found himself in the field eating grass as oxen for seven years after which he uttered these words “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?” At this time King Nebuchadnezzar thought since he was king of the earth that no one not even God could make him change, but he found out different. God controls this earth and does as He pleases and no one has any authority to over rule or over power Gods will. In Ephesians 1:11 we read “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” God worked the purpose of His own will with King Nebuchadnezzar, also with Pharaoh, and also with every one else whom He chooses. Even here in the United States of America God works all things according to His will. It certainly makes one wonder why He has chosen our modern day Presidents and set them in office, but He has and He has a purpose for it. People are always talking about Gods will; for example it is Gods will for abortion to be stopped, it is Gods will for all to be saved, it is Gods will for all to be rich and prosperous, and it is Gods will for all to be healthy and wise, this is ignorance at the highest degree. If God wanted abortion stopped He would stop it, and if He wanted all of these other things He would also deliver on them, the bottom line is God is allowing all of these things for a purpose and one day man will pay account to God for their ignorance and defiance to obey god and His laws. What kind of a God do we serve if His will is not always done? Do we serve a God who is out powered by man, Satan, or demons? Can the ACLU, the Liberal left, or the Socialist truly out smart and out power God? No they cannot, in fact God made a promise to all the Nations that go against Him “Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you” Zephaniah 2:1, 2. No, God does not like abortion but if He truly wanted it stopped He would stop it and He doesn’t need us to fight His fights for Him. God is not weak but rather all powerful and does as He pleases even in this wicked world.

The Psalmist said “Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.” Psalms 33:8 now I must ask does this sound like a God that will be over powered, does this sound like a God that will be defeated, do this sound like a God that cannot change mans will, or does this sound like a God that needs our help, no it does not, this sounds and is the God that can do all things whatsoever He wishes. The Psalmist went on to say in Psalms 33:9, 10 “For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.” This is not the weak insignificant God that so many today have made Him out to be in fact it fits very well with the “potter” and the “clay” that we looked at last week, God controls everything in existence, He allows some things contrary to his commands to happen but be assured of one thing, payback is coming and it’s not going to be pleasant for this world and religionist that belittle God’s Sovereignty.
