One of my favorite songs to listen to is "Sovereign Over Us" by Aaron Keyes. The first week after Lucy went home I would listen to this song every night. I would sing it through agonizing tears...raise my hands in the air...and cling to every word of the song. He is SOVEREIGN over us.
I decided last night that I wanted to dig into the Word and learn more about the Sovereignty of God. Webster defines sovereign as having supreme rank, power or authority. Through reading and understanding more about God's sovereignty, I found that asking questions like "why is God doing this to us?" and " what is His purpose in all this?"...I am questioning his authority-or sovereignty- over us. I'm questioning who He is and the position he holds as God and King.
In Romans 8:28, Scripture declares that all things work together for good to those that love God and are called according to His purpose. This verse declares the power of God’s sovereignty over all the things that occur in our life. He is working all things for our good. God doesn't use just some of these things, but all of them. He doesn't use just the good things for His purposes, but all things to bring about His ultimate purpose in our lives. He’s shaping everything together to bring about good in our life. (The Sovereignty of God by Steve Carr)
Just one more thing I can cling to and claim as we continue to live life without our daughter. He is Sovereign Over Us!!
