(NIV) For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Thoughts of Devotion:

This morning, by knowing God more, you will recognize His sovereignty over all things. One can see that God is over all His creation, there is nothing that He does not have dominion and control over! His Word reminds us over and over of this powerful principle. We read in 1 Chronicles 29:11, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.” He is the supreme King who has dominion over the entire universe.

What a privilege we have today to serve a God who is Sovereign over the whole world. Understand that He is in control of everything that is happening in this world. In the midst of so many things happening in humanity, we can trust the Only Sovereign and King of kings! His empire is eternal as 1 Timothy 6: 15–16 declares, “which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.”

It is for this reason that we can trust a Sovereign God who is in control of our circumstances. Even though we may feel that things are out of our hands and that they do not make sense, we must trust that He is still in control of everything that is happening to us! He is sitting on His throne carrying out His good will. In conclusion, the book Revelation 5:13 tells us, “And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

Therefore, having a sovereign God surrender your life to Him. He wants to do His good will in your life. The more you know Him, the more you will learn to surrender your will to Him. Do not fear anything that is happening, God is still in control of all circumstances because He is Sovereign! Amen.
