Tuesday, January 14’s devotional. Our journey through Psalm 115 continues with a profound reminder: “Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases” (Psalm 115:3, CSB). This declaration sets the foundation for understanding the sovereignty of God. In his sermon, Kgomotso emphasized that “God has the right and power to do whatever makes Him happy because He is God.” This powerful truth assures us that nothing is beyond His control, and everything unfolds according to His divine will.
The futility of questioning God’s presence and power is a common struggle. Like the psalmist, we may face taunts questioning, “Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:3, CSB). Kgomotso challenged us, asking, “Do you know where your God is, or even better, who your God is?” Our response should be one of unwavering faith, pointing others not to ourselves but to the throne room of God, who “rules the earth from His throne above.” In the face of doubt and skepticism, our confidence rests in the unchanging nature of God’s sovereignty.
Trust in God’s omnipotence extends to every aspect of our lives. John Calvin wrote, “There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.” This reflects the beauty of God’s control over creation and His purposeful design in every detail. When we acknowledge His sovereign hand, we find peace amidst life’s uncertainties, knowing that He orchestrates all things for His glory and our good.
Let us pray: Sovereign Lord, we stand in awe of Your infinite power and control. You are the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and we trust in Your perfect plan. Help us to surrender our fears and doubts, resting in the assurance that You do all that You please for Your glory. Strengthen our faith to trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You hold all things in Your hands. May our lives reflect Your glory, and may we find joy in Your divine will. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
