THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

4. The Sovereignty of God

The God who is, is the God who reigns. This is the bedrock doctrine of all doctrines. This is the unmovable mountain of God’s right to exercise His sovereignty. It is His right to reign over the heavens and the earth and the entirety of the universe. It is His undisputed right to govern all that He has created in unrivaled majesty. 

DEF:  above or superior to all others; supreme in power, rank power and authority; of God, His absolute right to do all things according to His good pleasure. Royalty.

“The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.” 
–Psalm 103:19  

Psalm 93 to 99 are the “enthronement Psalms” that emphasize our Lord who reigns!

“The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad.” –Psalm 97:1

 “Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”–Psalm 96:10

“The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty;”–Psalm 93:1 

God is sovereign over the kings and rulers of nations. “…he sets up kings and deposes them.” –Daniel 2:21

What a comfort it is to know that those in Washington are not in charge. What a comfort it is to know that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is the one that is presiding. Our Sovereign God is in charge!

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” –Proverbs 16:9
