God Complete Control

Three words in the Holy Word dictionary that always baffle me, and I struggle to even pronounce them:  Omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.  What a mouthful, and what importance they have over each of us!

God's sovereignty extends over all things.  Because He is omnipotent (all powerful), no plan of His can be stopped. (Luke 1:37)  He is omniscient (all knowing), so nothing is hidden from Him, and nothing can be out of His sight. (Hebrews 4:13)  God is also omnipresent, which means that all exist in His presence. (Colossians 1:16-17)  Everything in both the natural and spiritual realms including our salvation is under His complete control.

Scripture teaches that none of us seek God (Romans 3:11); we can take no credit for our salvation.  Our desire to know Him comes from the Holy Spirit convincing us that we are in sin and living apart from God.  Once the Spirit breaks down the hardness of our hearts, we then see our sin and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. (Ephesians 2:8)  Salvation is all from God from first to last.

Thank God for choosing ungodly people to become worthy to fellowship with Himself.  We need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us grasp the immensity of divine grace, love, and mercy.

God Bless,
