Sovereignty of God

Sovereignty of God. Do you believe
that the God of the bible/gospels are responsible for the recent
tsunami, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Holocaust, the Great Depression, the sinking of Titanic, the rise and fall of the great Roman Empire and the execution of Jesus?
The bible is full of powerful scriptures and one of those are from the prophet Isaiah: "That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things" (Isaiah 45:6, 7).
Simply put, the God of the Bible controls all things.
If you are a believer, all blessings that you may have experienced ultimately come from God.
On the other hand if you have experienced suffering or tragedy, this too, ultimately came from the hand of the same God.
Do not question the Sovereignty of God because of this. As the Creator of the universe,
God makes no apologizes for how He governs the world, nor does He seek counsel
as to how to rule it, because he is GOD!

A legitimate question would be:
"If God is powerful, almighty and all-loving why does He allow suffering and evil in the world?"
In short, the God of the Bible wants you to know that though He is sovereign and has predestined all things, whether good or bad, to accomplish His eternal purposes, He is also a God of divine and perfect love.
You will biblical proof in the gospel of John, stated two thousand years ago that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). How did God give His Son? God
allowed wicked men to crucify Him in order that sinners like you and I can be
reconciled to the very God we have offended by our lawlessness against Him.

TODAY'S NEWS:
'No Religion' Billboard Taken Down After Complaints
Throngs of mourners on Tuesday packed the funerals of the six Jews killed in the 60-hour terror rampage in the Indian city of Mumbai, a grim occasion deepened by the conviction that the victims were targeted because of their religion.
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) _ Muslims from the Middle East to Britain and Austria condemned Sunday the Mumbai shooting rampage by suspected Islamic militants as senseless terrorism, but also found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion.

The God of the bible was
the author of this event! In the same book of Isaiah, less than ten chapters from the first text we read, and centuries before Christ came to earth, we read of Jesus the Messiah, "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed...And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all...Yet it pleased God to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief" (Isaiah 53).
The bottom-line is that God is in control and although calamity is often included in His plan,
we need to trust in His sovereignty completely. He has also decreed love to be found only in Christ Jesus
by allowing his crucifixion.
