Many who accept or reject the sovereignty of God do so based upon a faulty understanding of the word and of the doctrine. The common assumption is that God’s sovereignty means He is irresistible and without limitations in the scope of His power or practice in the affairs of men. But, is this what sovereignty means?
When others speak wrongfully of you, what do you do? Do you take that time to ask God if what is being said is true? Do you turn to God and ask Him to search your heart for any wrong doing? You may be surprised what God would do in your heart during the times when you have been done wrong.
