| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, happy Monday. It's E and welcome to another episode of Monday Meditations. Today we're |
| 0:07.7 | going to be meditating on our God's sovereignty. God is in complete control of everything, the whole |
| 0:14.5 | entire universe. He is the Lord over all and God's authority over us, his people, and all creation should really inspire us |
| 0:23.0 | to worship him because he is completely good and completely sovereign. What's powerful to think of, |
| 0:29.2 | though, is that the sovereignty of God means that everything that exists in this world was because |
| 0:34.5 | God willed it. And in God's sovereignty, the events of this world that happen |
| 0:38.2 | are according to his plan. God is sovereign in creation, providence, redemption, and judgment. |
| 0:45.3 | And don't lose sight of God's providence in your life, especially when times are tough and when |
| 0:49.2 | you're trying desperately to hold onto the pieces. In God's sovereignty, his love allows us to choose. And there is also |
| 0:55.9 | in our fallen world the pain and suffering that sin brings, but you have to remember that he is |

| 1:07.9 | spiritual vantage point. If God has not promised restoration, no amount of human effort can make it happen. |
| 1:14.7 | If God has promised restoration, then no amount of human obstacles in opposition can stop God's will from being fulfilled. |
| 1:22.5 | God will make it happen and God will graciously provide all that is necessary for his people to come back to |
| 1:28.6 | him. There is power in believing in God's providence and provision, believing that he is in control |
| 1:34.5 | of all the details of our lives and our family because God is fulfilling his purpose for our |
| 1:40.5 | lives. And in his sovereignty rests our confidence. The sovereignty of God teaches us that |
| 1:46.1 | there is no such thing as luck, chance, fate, or even coincidence. To call God sovereign means that |
| 1:52.4 | his purpose will be realized. To claim that sovereignty of God in our lives is to abandon |
| 1:58.0 | ourselves to God completely, and also to not tremble over past or present |
| 2:03.1 | difficulties that God has promised neither to fix or to prevent and to trust that a story worth |
| 2:08.9 | celebrating is always unfolding. So let's take a deep breath, posture our hearts to reflect our |
