Listen, church: The sovereignty of God means this—God rules and God overrules. He governs

every corner of His creation, including the affairs of men. He sits high on the throne of the

universe as Lord, and nothing—I said nothing—moves unless He causes it or allows it. No event

in history, no moment in time, no breath, no heartbeat, no rise, no fall ever escapes His

absolute 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 attribute

more comforting to His children than that of God’s sovereignty. Under the most adverse

circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that sovereignty has ordained their

afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all. 

God’s glory is the

visible 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, whose

presence is weighty, whose splendor is overwhelming. His glory is the radiance of His greatness,

the shine of His holiness, the brilliance of His being.
