Sovereignty of God (33)
  1. But Jesus didn’t see it that way. He saw his arrest not as the kingdom’s program being thwarted but as it being “fulfilled.”
  2. God always keeps his promises even if/when we don’t. God is always faithful even if/when we aren’t.
  3. God leads us to the refuge that’s more secure and safe than any man-made thing, more than anything we own, more than anything that owns us.
  4. Ultimately, there is only one Lord of the Universe, and he does not share power. If Jesus is Lord, Caesar is not.
  5. The place where it is most difficult for us to accept God’s will is when suffering, calamities, and finally, death itself.
  6. The kingdom of God has a proper name, and his name is Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man.
  7. As a parent listens for the cry of a hurting child, our heavenly Father waits for our cry of weal and woe.
  8. Even when you’re praying and you feel like you’re not getting what you want, God loves you. God hears you.
  9. A life of faith is a life of wisdom, which is a life lived knowing that it is God’s authority — and his alone — that prevails as the consummate active power in the cosmos.
  10. Whoever your president is, you have a King. A King who elected you.
  11. As long as our illusions of control over storms and germs persist to govern our thinking, we will never be able to take the saving work of Christ as seriously we ought.
  12. God does not take us out of a world of evils of various kinds, but He does stand beside us and accompany us, as a shepherd accompanies his sheep, through valleys of shadows of all kinds.
