" All Things To Work Together For Good To Those Who Love GOD."

GOD'S most comforting attribute!

"And we know that GOD causes 
all things to work together for good 
to those who love GOD, to those
who are called according to HIS
purpose!" Romans 8:28

There is no attribute of GOD more 
comforting to HIS children than that 
of GOD'S sovereignty. Under the most 
adverse circumstances, in the most 
severe troubles, they believe . . .
  that Sovereignty has ordained their afflictions,
  that Sovereignty overrules them, and
  that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.

There is nothing for which the children 
of GOD ought more earnestly to contend,
than . . .
  the doctrine of their MASTER ruling 
       over all creation,
  the kingship of GOD over all the works
       of HIS own hand,
  the throne of GOD, and HIS right
       to reign upon that throne.

"Our GOD is in the heavens; HE does 
whatever HE pleases!" Psalm 115:3

"All the peoples of the earth are regarded 
as nothing. HE does as HE pleases with 
the powers of heaven and the peoples 
of the earth." Daniel 4:35

"Hallelujah! For our LORD Almighty 
reigns!" Revelation 19:6


"To be GOD and sovereign are inseparable!" 
(Stephen Charnock)

"Sovereignty characterizes the whole 
being of GOD. HE is sovereign in all 
HIS attributes!" (Arthur Pink)

"GOD has sovereign right to dispose 
of us as HE pleases. We ought to 
acquiesce in all that GOD does with 
us and to us." (William Carey)
