The Beauty of Sovereignty

The sovereignty of God is at work in our lives. Until He bids, we cannot die...

Can you imagine the absolute will of God co-existing with our free wills? Haha. A mystery that perplexes the brightest minds. But I reckon if general relativity and quantum mechanics can't seem to co-exist with one another, and yet are so accurate on their own... and yet the Universe somehow manages to run along just fine with two apparently very different bedfellows, then I reckon, with a simple trust...

Then He who made the grand old galaxies and the quirky little quarks can somehow meld the mysteries of predestination and free will work together, seamlessly and flawlessly.

I'm perplexed, and yet I see the universe run majestically before my own eyes.

Well, that's why we have physicists and theologians. :) To work out their good brains while we sit and enjoy the show. Haha...
