Chronological Bible Readings

2 Samuel 7:18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And now, Sovereign Lord, in addition to everything else, you speak of giving your servant a lasting dynasty! Do you deal with everyone this way, O Sovereign Lord?

Yes, yes he does deal with everyone this way. At least everyone who belongs to Him. Even in our difficulties if we look to Him and trust His sovereignty, we will see that He works all things out for our good. Who am I, O Sovereign Lord that you...? I have felt this way. When you really contemplate His greatness His power over all things (sovereignty) it is difficult to think that He would consider me in my tiny existence. But He does and it matters to Him. BECAUSE He is sovereign. When you ask AI what does it mean that God is sovereign? This is what you get.

"In a nutshell, when we say God is sovereign, it means He has ultimate authority and control over all things. This includes everything from the creation and governance of the universe to the details of individual lives. God's sovereignty signifies His absolute power, wisdom, and purposeful direction over all creation."

So, if God is sovereign then He would consider me. He considers all things even every ant that crawls on the ground and every blade of grass that grows. That is mind blowing to me. 🤯
