It can get pretty, ab-so-lute-ly exciting at times wondering how something's gonna turn out.
You are clay in the potter's hands, kosta.
Amen. It's all part of the paradox at the heart of our Christian faith. Men act; yet God ordains. We certainly feel like autonomous beings, moving through this life tethered only by our own desires.
But somehow, it is all according to God's purpose, one way or another. Even the bad stuff has its reason. Thank God, the reason for everything in our lives is Jesus Christ.
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." -- Colossians 1:16-17"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Romans 8:28
"All things."
The only God worth discussing must be "all." If He isn't, then He is not God. He's just another powerful being.
More powerful than me is not such a great commendation. "Eternal Sovereign" is.
