He Will Still Be Sovereign

Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt. - Genesis 45:8

I just have one more thought concerning Joseph's "Egyptian experience."

Is God sovereign or not? Under some circumstances, this question is a little more difficult to answer in the affirmative. For example, Joseph saw the sovereignty of God in his life, but I am pretty sure he must have wondered, "Why am I here? What is God doing?"

Of course, God is Lord, of all, or He cannot be properly called "Lord God." He never abdicates His sovereign rule, ever; therefore, when things are beyond understanding our task is simple. We must:

1. Give Him glory.

2. Wait for His purpose to be revealed.

3. Trust His loving heart.

We will understand "it" better by and by, or we won't, or in His presence it won't matter, but He no matter the outcome. He will still be sovereign.

Our fates are in the hands of an Almighty God, to whom I can with pleasure confide my own; He can save us, or destroy us; His Councils are fixed and cannot be disappointed, and all His designs will be accomplished. - Abraham Clark
