I’ve been reading the book”The Sovereignty of God” by Arthur W. Pink. I’ve also been reading my Bible.
In modern culture it’s a misconception that people believe that the Devil has power over this world/earth. This in fact is not true. God is sovereign. He is all powerful,all knowing,and in control. So many people tend to try to strip God of his power by trying to limit him. You can’t limit God. We are the clay and he is the potter. Does not the potter have authority over the clay?
I’m going to quote some verses that talk about God’s sovereignty.-
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. – 1 Chronicles 29:11
Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. – Psalm 115:3
Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. – Psalm 135:6
all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” – Daniel 4:35
I hope that those Bible verses don’t come across to you as that God is not all powerful. Clearly in those verses God’s word is clearly proclaiming that the Lord is sovereign. Satan has no power over the earth. God created not only the earth and everything within it. But he also created the universe and everything within the entire universe. Does he not have power over his creation?
