"Man's steps are ordained by the Lord, how then can man understand his way?" (Proverbs 20:24) The idea of sovereignty is written all over that verse. Sovereignty means our all-wise, all-knowing, God reigns in realms beyond our comprehension to bring about a plan beyond our ability to alter, hinder, or stop. His plan includes promotions & demotions. His plan can mean both adversity & prosperity, tragedy & calamity, ecstasy & joy. His plan is at work when we cannot imagine why, because it is so unpleasant, as much as when the reason is clear & pleasant. His sovereignty, though it is inscrutable, has dominion over all handicaps, all heartaches, all helpless moments . . . even when we cannot explain the reasons, He understands. And when we cannot see the end, He is still there carrying out His plan . . . & that is a most comforting thought!
