DAVID JEREMIAH’S TURNING POINT JANUARY 16TH, 2024
Sovereign of the Seas, a seventeenth-century British warship, was ordered by Charles I of England in 1634 and launched in 1637. Not only was Sovereign the most beautiful ship in the British navy, but she was also the most powerful, boasting 102 cannons. The goal for Sovereign was to manifest her name: to rule the oceans. She did that until 1696 when she caught fire and burned down to the waterline.
Temporary, partial sovereignty is not really sovereignty at all; one is either sovereign or not. When the Bible speaks of God’s sovereignty, it makes clear that He is sovereign over all. “Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed” (Daniel 7:14). God’s sovereignty is complete and never-ending.
Never let the troubles of this world, or your life, cause you to worry. Put your faith in the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18).
If God is not sovereign, then God is not God.
