(Psalms 33:10-11 NIV) “The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. {11} But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.”
(Daniel 7:13-14 NIV) “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. {14} He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”
God is sovereign. Life is not just a chain of random chance events. With God, we have a sense that we were created with a purpose. With God, we realize that history is headed somewhere. God knows where that somewhere is. God knows the beginning and the end. He has a plan -- for the universe and for us. His plan will be accomplished. His will, will be done. The chaos we live in, the random events that seem to plague mankind, are indicators of man’s rebellion against God and His sovereign will. God created man to serve and worship Him, but man worships himself. Man does his own thing instead of God’s thing, and he is decimated by the consequences of his bad choices. Fallen humanity struggles against the bit of God’s sovereignty, but history will culminate just as God planned. His kingdom has come. God is sovereign and worthy of our worship today. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
