Genesis 6:8 “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
-------------------------------------
The Sovereignty of God
“But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased!” Psalm 115:3
“Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.” Psalm 135:6
The Sovereignty of God may be defined as the exercise of His supremacy. Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature, He is the Most High, Lord of Heaven and earth. Subject to none, influenced by none, He is absolutely independent. God does . . .
as He pleases,
only as He pleases,
always as He pleases.
None can thwart Him-none can hinder Him. God's sovereignty is not the sovereignty of a tyrannical Despot, but the exercised pleasure of One who is infinitely wise and good!
Because God is infinitely wise, He cannot err.
Because He is infinitely righteous, He will not do wrong.
Here then is the preciousness of this truth. The mere fact itself that God's will is irresistible and irreversible fills me with fear-but once I realize that God wills only that which is good, my heart is made to rejoice.
God's purpose cannot fail.
God's plans cannot miscarry.
God's will must be done.
A “god” . . .
whose will is resisted,
whose designs are frustrated,
whose purpose is checkmated,
possesses no title to Deity-and so far from being a fit object of worship, merits nothing but contempt!
“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest Thou?” Daniel 4:35 --Arthur Pink
*********************************
Choice Excerpts from Edward Payson (1783-1827)

1) Every Christian is in the exact situation, which God in His infinite wisdom sees best for him!

2) The mind which has contemplated eternity - thinks lightly of the things of time!

3) If you sincerely search your heart - then you will find pride, like the different layers of an onion, lurking one beneath another to the very center of it!

4) Praise Christ for everything. He is the foundation of every good thought, desire, and affection.

5) It should be our aim to draw all we can from Him by prayer - and return Him all we can by praise.
******************************************
Father of Heaven
Author: Edward Cooper

Tune: Doxology

1. Father of heav'n whose love profound,
A ransom for our souls hath found;
Before Thy Throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy pardoning love extend.

2. Almighty Son, Incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord;
Before Thy Throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy saving grace extend.

3. Eternal Spirit, by whose breath,
The soul is raised from sin and death;
Before Thy Throne we sinners bend,
To us Thy quickening power extend.

4. Jehovah! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious God-head, Three in One;
Before Thy Throne we sinners bend,
Grace, pardon, life to us extend.
