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?
The Word of God is prepared by the Almighty, a fit means to break in pieces the stony, and rocky hearts of sinners.
To abound literally means to go over the bounds. Men of God cannot be halfway Christians. They cannot go just far enough and then quit. They must overflow. The abundance that comes from God comes in His way and in His time. Are you living the Christian life to its fullest? Is your zeal for the Lord real and consistent?
What would our life be like if nothing existed beyond the world we see? What if all we had was under the sun? How would this change our life, our hopes, our dreams?
The best the world has to offer can only be perfected in the precepts of God

We are so limited in our understanding by having the world in our hearts. Yet God is working all things together to the good of His own people and purposes.
