I put this together last week for a study guide that goes along with the sermons for our new series, "Always True." Today, I got to preach it to my own heart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------God sets up kings and kingdoms and knocks them down. “He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names” (Psalm 147:4). He has counted every grain of sand on every seashore. He knows the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30), He knows when a sparrow falls from the sky (Matthew 10:29). He spoke and out of nothing came everything. He declares the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10), in fact, He is the beginning and the end (Revelation 21:6). He redeemed the Israelites from slavery by slaying the firstborn, and He has freed us from slavery to sin by bearing our punishment. He has set the captives free and brought water from rocks.
No problem is too big for Him and no detail is too small.
He Himself reminds us that with Him all things are possible (Genesis 18:14, Matthew 19:26). Nothing is too hard. No problem we are facing is beyond His concern, care or ability. He is God and He is great.
God is great, so we don’t have to try to be in control.
