God will do what He wants to. Whatever He wants to. He is God!! . . .


2 Samuel 7:18-19
Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human.
The other morning I awoke singing the song “Sovereign” by John P. Kee. The ending of the chorus says: “God will do what He wants to, whatever He wants to. He is God!” I went to sleep the night before concerned about numerous issues that needed to be addressed. I woke up singing “Sovereign! God will do what He wants to, WHATEVER HE wants to. HE is God!”
I then went about my day. I missed my deadlines, but discovered that I had not missed God's. I was late to certain of my appointments, but was met by God at each place as apparently I was on time. I did not find what I expected to find when I got where I was on several occasions, but found at each place that He was already there and had done more than I had even hoped for or imagined. I worked when I was tired and found He had put strength in me that I did not know was there. When I lay done to sleep that night, I considered the heavens from where my help comes from . . . my help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. The SOVEREIGN Lord.
God will do what He wants to. Whatever He wants to. He is God.
David understood that nothing that had happened in His life had been outside of the Sovereign Lord's hands. He understood that he, David, deserved nothing of what was given, or any of the attention the Lord, the Sovereign Lord had paid to him. He knew from His life that God was indeed Sovereign for God had done what He, God, wanted to do. David understood that David's past, his present, and His future were all within the design of a Holy and Sovereign Lord. God had done what He wanted to do. God was doing what He wanted to do. God would do what He wants to do.
It is the same for you and I. God is Sovereign.
In understanding and embracing within our very core the sovereignty of God in our lives we begin to see things differently. What did I miss today? Okay, did I really miss out on something? Think about it, what event or occurrence in my life today God will not use as HE wants to? Nothing. He has a purpose and design for each of us and His purpose will not be defeated. When we came to Christ we became a new creature with a sure bright future. A future which brings praise and glory to the Heavenly Father. Everything the Lord touches gives evidence of the glory of the Lord in its design, purpose and fulfillment. He is Sovereign. Relax in His soverignty.
God will do what He wants to. Whatever He wants to. He is God.
Got it? Got Word? Then live it out.
Love yah,
