Deep Dive: Sovereign Fire, Weighty Glory

Send us Fan MailListen, church: The sovereignty of God means this—God rules and God overrules. He governsevery corner of His creation, including the affairs of men. He sits high on the throne of theuniverse as Lord, and nothing—I said nothing—moves unless He causes it or allows it. No eventin history, no moment in time, no breath, no heartbeat, no rise, no fall ever escapes Hisabsolute control.If it happens, He either sent it or permitted it—but it never slipped past Him.the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon say in his sermon on Matthew 20:15— There is no attributemore comforting to His children than that of God’s sovereignty. Under the most adversecircumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that sovereignty has ordained theirafflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all. God’s glory is thevisible showing of who He is—His attributes shining, His character blazing, His nature on display.In the Old Testament, the word “glory” means weight—heaviness—something so real, so solid,so substantial that it presses on everything around it.So when we speak of God’s glory, we’re talking about a God whose reputation is heavy, whosepresence is weighty, whose splendor is overwhelming. His glory is the radiance of His greatness,the shine of His holiness, the brilliance of His being.  Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.
