The One Year Bible - Day 255

God's sovereignty is another of those massive themes that are present in the Bible but not really taught that much in church, perhaps because it is a bit difficult and is not the sort of thing you can teach with authority without revelation, it is much easier to teach about His love or even His justice. What we read is about how God is able to use someone like Assyria to punish Israel when they need to learn a lesson but then how Assyria themselves will be punished for their own sins. What it reminds us is that God does things in His own timing and not when we might think He should do it. We still have choices though, we also know that, we just need to remember that God's plan trumps anything we might try and achieve.
