Ecclesiastes 3:14 “I know that, whatsoever God
doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from
it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. (15) That which hath
been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that
which is past.”
If you do not know, understand, or you are maybe confused about the Sovereignty of God, you need to study these two verses. While the nature of man is limited and imperfect the very nature of God is completely opposite. Everything about God is perfection, while sometimes man thinks of himself this way, they are wrong. But it seems sometimes man thinks of God as finite but again man is wrong, God is Infinite in every way. We read in Proverbs 19:21 “There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.” It is man who is always confused, thinking, and changing in an attempt to be right and complete, but only God is complete and never changing. There is none like God, none has His power, authority, and none has a grace that is irresistible. No one, not one created being can hinder God’s will in his work. No one can change the course of God’s ordained will or His predetermined purpose. God is the Perfect Being, “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.” Proverbs 21:30 This is because God is all and in all, He is the only true eternal being, and He is the creator of all things and therefore everything in existence is under His perfect Will and Power. John Gill once wrote these words, “No human schemes whatever, formed with the greatest wisdom and prudence, can ever prevail against God, or set aside or hinder the execution of any design of his; nothing that is pointed against his church, his cause, and interest, his truths and ordinances, in the issue shall succeed; all that are found fighters against him shall not prosper…” God only commands He never ask, pleads, nor begs, He only commands and succeeds at all His will. Matthew Pool wrote these words, “all God's counsels or decrees are eternal and unchangeable, and his providence works effectually, so as men cannot resist or hinder it.” People can and will deny God’s rule and authority, His ordained predestined will, and His execution of it, but they are mistaken. If anyone, regardless of educational level, their stature in life, or their power, denies these truths, they are wrong. God cannot be hindered of His will or in His work since His power and grace is irresistible. It is not man who let’s God into their heart, it is God who comes into their heart. Man does not invite God into their heart it is God who changes their heart. It is God who draws us to Christ, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44 And it is God who makes us willing, it is God who quickens our dead spirit, it is God who gives us the faith to be saved, and it is God who walks us through every step of salvation. Therefore, if you hear any man who tells you that “God cannot change your heart, that it is only changed by your will”, then that person does not understand God. Paul wrote in Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” If God does not “worketh in you” and draw you, then you will never come to Christ for salvation. “There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” Romans 3:11 None, no not one! Not one soul will move unless the Holy Spirit quickens their dead heart and causes them to move. Not in salvation or anything else. Proverbs 21:1 - 2 “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. (2) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.” The word “pondereth” means - to balance, that is, measure out (by weight or dimension); figuratively to arrange, direct or tell. Therefore, take the time to study our text scripture, and God will open much understanding about the truth about Him to you, and it will be such a blessing to you.
