NewLife News: The Attributes of God - Sovereignty

There is a wonderful thing we will find when we acknowledge and trust God’s sovereignty. We will be able to find rest in Him and that His peace will be ours. Rest will be possible because He’s the ultimate authority in the all the universe. He’s got plans and purposes specifically for our lives. This is in direct contrast to the lie of the devil that life has no purpose and that all is meaningless. Peace will be ours because the peace of God that transcends all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7).

The peace of God is supernatural and unexplainable but is also a very real and experiential thing. While His peace is a gift and blessing He gives to His children, His peace is rooted in His Sovereignty in that:
He works all things according to His will,
Nothing will thwart His will,
He has settled everything in the work of His Son on the cross,
He’s in control, He’s in charge, and nothing will unseat Him.

​Phew, how’s that for Sovereignty? And, as Ashley reminded us when she gave the benediction on Sunday, our Father is Holy, Eternal, He’s our Unchanging Rock who is Sovereign. May we rest in Him today and everyday!

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow,
Pastor Andy
