A sovereign God. I had it explained to me today that when we refer to God as sovereign, we are saying that He is in control. Okay, duh, I know this, I've know this since I was two. But there is a very clear difference between knowing and believing! EVERY situation that happens in life, God is in control. Good or bad, God is in control. What would it look like if I truly believed and lived out the belief that God is in control? In Isaiah 9:6, God is referred to as the Prince of Peace. So not only is God in control of EVERYTHING, but He also wants to give each and every one of us peace, a peace only He can give and we could never understand. So why as Christians, myself included, do we live in fear and worry about everything? For myself, it's because I've never taken the time to understand the privileges I have as a Christian; nor do I spend time growing closer to God. But as I said yesterday, I'm making a point to change this. I failed this morning to get out of bed early enough to have my quiet time in the morning. I still had it in the afternoon but its just not the same. There is just something about starting my day off with God. It's amazing and totally worth losing an hour of sleep. Somebody unknowingly gave me the idea to pray that God would give me the want, desire, and awakefulness (yes, I just made that up) to get up when I need to in the morning to accomplish this so that's what I will do tonight and try again tomorrow :)
