So Sovereign

Yesterday was just like any normal day for me. i got ready, i went to work, took my lunch break and as i sat at my computer to figure out what i wanted to prepare for today i got sidetracked reading another blog that some girlfriends of mine write on. It's nice keeping in touch but its even better when i find out that one of them is engaged. Oh what rapturous delight came upon me to know that a very dear friend will be getting married in about 2 months. talk about short engagement.

My friend and her fiance have had a very long history of being in and out of a relationship together and he even proposed to her before, but she broke it off. As i was thinking about their relationship and future marriage, i could not help but cry tears of happiness in the realization that God is so Sovereign in his timing and just overall sovereign. His ways are not our ways and his timing is always best. I love that God knows us best even more than we know ourselves. He is so good to divinely ordain big things and little things (whether good or bad) in our lives that all we should do is praise his name.

My husband brought up a good point in asking "what if they weren't going to get married ever" and i said then thats Gods will and thats what im happy for. So many people have this idea that God is sovereign only in the things that are good that happen in our lives, but he's sovereign and should be praised even in the "bad" times. Easier said that done, most definetly, but still so absolutely true.

So God,
thank you for being sovereign in your timing and knowing exactly when to place two people together and all the other big and little, "good" and "bad" things that happen in this short life of ours.

amen.
