The sovereignty of God (Psalm 103 v19 )

Although books like Obadiah are small, they still the word of God,that goes for books in the NT,and they should not be discounted as having no value. In 2 Timothy 3 v i6 we read,'All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching,rebuking, correcting,and training in righteousness'.It is Gordon Bridger writing on Obadiah says that we will find three great truths in that book to encourage us; (The sovereignty of God ) (The judgments of God) (The triumph of God)Let us consider the first one God's sovereignty,people struggle with this truth,but if God is not sovereign,then He is not God. Gordon Bridger asks the question,' The sovereignty of God; who is really in charge?'. Here is three quotations,'God is in charge of history. He is the mover in history'.(Motyer). 'Yahweh is sovereign in the history of the entire world, and freely exercises His will therein.( Baker) . Wars are not stirred up at random,but by the secret influence of God. ( Calvin).In Amos 3 v 6, we read,' 'When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it'.I have said ,and I  will say it again,the sovereignty of God is a great mystery,in other words we can never fully explain it.Like so many things taught in God's word we have to take them by faith, even in eternity we never full grasp this doctrine .I met an old friend recently as I read God's word,'And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God',(Romans 8 v28 ).Whatever we are going through now,or whatever we will go through later,hold to unto that promise from our sovereign God.
