God's Sovereignty
Looking back over the last several chapters of Genesis even going back to the beginning, I find it so hard to believe or even imagine how such a perfect God could work through such a sinful people. So many of those whom God had chose to work through and make and bless a nation out of were deceitful, selfish, ultimately or seemingly no better than the ones not chosen. I have always been taught my God is sovereign. I've forgotten the exact definition of that word over the years, but I remember the basics of it. His ultimate will will be done, but because of sin so often he often has to work around our faults instead of working through us. It makes me think. God has a best plan in mind for me. Whatever has gone on before today, I cannot change, nor any consequenses or results from those actions. Of course, nothing is impossible with God and He is a merciful God. The question is: When I think about my future and choices yet unmade, do I want His best plan for my life, or do I want Him to always be working in spite of me? The former is my choice. Lord, please help me to serve and obey you and to remain in a place where Your Holy Spirit can not only work in my life, but through me. May it start today according to Your Will. Thank You!!!
