Romans 4:17 ...God calls things that are not as thou they were.

There are things we thought to be impossible, beyond reality, can't be done. But these words are not part of God's vocabulary. What we think is impossible, what we think will not happen.... for God it can be done with just a flick of His finger. He parted the red sea, remember? He knows the number of our hair. He knew every thing that will happen before he died.

So why am I putting a limit to His power and love? Ang tigas ng ulo ko.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Ps 139:16

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will. In order that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be for the praise of his glory. Eph 1:11-12

God is our Sovereign Lord, he just is, it is His prerogative. And it is so amazing that we have a living Sovereign Lord whose very nature is to love us.

The understanding of God's sovereignty and love for us is what allows us to accept the things that wouldn't, couldn't, or didn't go according to our plan. But no matter how we complain and lash out, God will look at us with his kind eyes and will love us no matter what.

Isn't is great that we have God who knows what's best for us, who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will? Who's more concerned with our "heavenly peace" than our "earthly ease"?
