Sovereign Lord

“Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” -- Jeremiah 32:17 NIV

We've been talking about truth at church over the past couple of weeks, and about how and why people seem to turn so easily from God and put their faith in other things.

For me, even though there have been times in my life when I questioned God, I can't fathom how any rational person can look around them and not see God everywhere they look! The Earth is God's creation, we are God's creation. How amazingly it all fits together so nicely. We depend on the Earth to survive and the Earth depends on us to be good stewards of all that God has given us. The way all types of life evolve and flourish, the way that the human brain works...how can all of that be just coincidence or aliens or anything other than our Sovereign Lord???

I looked up the word sovereign to get some insight into the use of it here. A couple of my favorite definitions, the ones that really say "God" to me are:

  • supreme, preeminent, indisputable
  • being above all others in character, importance, excellence, etc.

Those are all really great adjectives to describe our Lord. He is greater on every level than we are capable of being, and He created each of us with ultimate love and ultimate skill so celebrate that today and give thanks to our Sovereign Lord!
