When Things Go WrongSample

Understanding the concept of sovereignty will solve a very big issue for you and for most people. It is the issue of trust.

It is difficult to trust God when or if you do not believe He is sovereign. When things happen in your life that are painful or seem confusing, it is easy to lose trust in God’s control and His goodness when you do not fully grasp His sovereignty. But once you grab this truth and hold onto it tightly—the truth that He is ruler, controller, sustainer and authority over all—then the seemingly disconnected happenings of life are woven together into a tapestry of His perfect timing. The meanderings which seem to take you from place to place on the pathway of your days now lead somewhere.

And while you may not see the destination or be instantly relieved of the difficulties, your trust in His providential care and sovereign rule will give you the ability to rest rather than fret, be still rather than be anxious, or even praise rather than complain.

When you understand His sovereignty in the midst of not understanding what He is doing right then, you will learn how to see God in a way you’ve never seen Him before. You will discover the power of His presence and the purpose of His plans.
