1. Sovereignty
Examine: sovereignty
In this study, we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us as we consider the following:
- God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours (Isa 55: 8-9)
- God is the Potter and we are the clay.
- God is in total control of His creation.
- God raises up good and evil people to serve His purposes.
- God orchestrates both encouraging and difficult circumstances as He desires.
The term “sovereignty” represents an important biblical truth, but that word is not found in scripture. And there are other non-scriptural terms that men have introduced which are intended to help “conceptualize” biblical truths, such as “Trinity”, “Shekinah”, and “Rapture”.
This first study simply encourages you to search scripture.
The Word is “alive and active” so go as the Spirit leads, and call on Him often. Be patient, and let The Word of God speak to you.
If you are new to e-Sword, you may find it helpful to view the “Bible Search Illustration” video below before beginning this initial study.
This is your study:
Use the e-Sword app to “Bible Search” two or more of the following suggestions or search whatever the Spirit puts on your heart. As you scroll through search results you are looking for indications of God’s power, authority, and control over His creation.
