God is Sovereign. ( Isaiah 40 v 10 )
One of the great truths that gripped me as a young believer was the sovereignty of God, Pinks book on the sovereignty was very helpful. A. Motyer writes that God is the,' Mover of History', and John Calvin wrote,'Wars are not stirred up at random , but by the secret influence of God'. Baker comments,'Yahweh is sovereign in the history of the entire world, and freely exercises His will therein'. The fact is if God is not sovereign then He is not God, Gordon Bridger gives the scriptures in relation to Gods sovereignty. The Lord exercise divine government over the universe at large. Psalm 103 v 19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all. Over the physical world. Psalm 104 v 14. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. Over the affairs of the nations. Job 22 v 28 For dominion belongs to the Lord ,and he rules over the nations. Over individuals. Luke 1 v 52. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,and lifted up the lowly. Most of this I gleaned from Gordon Bridger in his book on three of the minor prophets in 'The Bible speaks today' series.
