Sovereign God

I'll be the first to admit like others I have a problem with being appreciative of where I am because I'm always wanting more... And not only do I want more but I want it when I say when. (Insert magic wand here...) I'm quickly reminded that it just doesn't work like that and I'm foolish to believe it does. Since when do I have all the authority and power to say when something is going to happen...

I think my biggest problem these days is patience. And I'll be the first to call myself out. The older I get the worse it gets... Because it just doesn't happen the way I want it to happen. God, I swear, is probably looking at me saying silly girl, you'll learn one day... And the longer it takes for me to learn, the longer I have to wait. I believe in this season of waiting he is trying to teach me something. Mostly patience and trust. 

I reminded by my best friend that when you give your situation to God (my lack of patience and complete trust) I can't sit there and just way for something to happen... I can't say God here it is, I turn it over to you but don't let go of it.... That pretty much goes against the whole concept of taking it to the altar and leaving it there.... 

So in this time of worship, I am reminded of this song... Sovereign God... maybe you know the song, maybe you don't but reading the words will give you a gist of things.... 

[Verse 1:]
There aren't even words to describe just how great you are
In all your majesty
You continually provide for me
There just isn't anything that you can't d
Lord I've seen your work before
So I'll trust you all the more
Because you are

[Verse 2:]
A wave of your hand can command the seas to hold their peace
If you can handle the seas
Then I know that you can deal with all my needs
So I will put every situation into your capable hands
I don't have to know the plan
Because you are

[Verse 3:]
He is able to do exedingly abunduntly
Above all we ask or think
So take all your burdens
And lay them at his feet and watch him meet the need
We have the victory
Because you are

[Chorus:]
You are the sovereign god
Bigger than all my problems and every situation
There is nothing too hard
For the sovereign god
 

One thing I like about this song, is that it says he's in control of every situation, all my problems... Nothing's too hard for him... This song gives clear directions. I will put every situation in his CAPABLE hands, I DONT HAVE TO KNOW THE PLANS.... Take All your burdens and lay them at his feet and let HIM meet the need... Because HE is the SOVEREIGN GOD!!!! 

 

Be blessed and know he is sovereign!
