Sovereignty "Seuss"ily

      Sovereignty, despite its fancy spelling, is not a complicated doctrine. It simply means that what God says will happen, happens. Children get it. It is we adults who don't understand. We see the evil in the world around us and doubt God's plan. That is why we worry. Worry is one of those pardonable sins in Christian circles, especially now that we have 24 hour access to programming designed to make us worry, but it is actually a serious offense. Worry is slander against God. It is a statement that God is either not strong enough, or not good enough, to take care of us. So I state sovereignty simply, in Seussical style.

God is sovereign. God is good.

His plans all happen as they should.

He works His will when men obey.

He tells them what to do and say.

He works His will through wicked men

who laugh at God and hate His plan.

They cannot change what God will do.

I don't think they should try. Do you?

Why do we worry, fuss and fret

when our desires have not been met?

Christians should not fear and mope
and live as if we had no hope.

God's plans work out the way they should
for God is sovereign, God is good.
