Just a couple of days ago, I was reminded just how great God's sovereignty in my life actually is. I know God is sovereign over everything, all the time, always, but I guess out of pride I tend not to see it sometimes. Reason being is I try to think that when something good happens to me, I did something to deserve it or I did it myself. That is ridiculous, I deserve nothing but through God's unbelievable mercy that he lavishes on me every single breath i breathe, I have been given a gift worthy of all of my devotion. That gift is the gift of a Savior whom sacrificed His life in order for me to live mine. I find so much comfort in knowing that God has me in His hands. The maker of this world has a hold on me and that is the most comforting thing I will ever be told.
I was reading a blog somewhere and this is an excerpt of one that is so encouraging:
"Brothers and Sisters, our hope isn't that God will give is whatever we want in this world - it's that He HAS given us everything we could ever want; JESUS CHRIST. We have an eternal home waiting for us - but while we are waiting for that day He is with us through the promised gift of the Holy Spirit, The Comforter."
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to rejoice in the gifts and talents you have given me but also help me to recognize that you are the Source of everything good and are worthy of all glory and honor.
"Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness" Psalm 29:2
