Topic: Known Unto God
Text: Isaiah 49:1-10

God is Sovereign. He has the final say in all matters. When God told an angel to bring the corpse of Moses, Satan opposed this, laying claim to the corpse. The angel simply reported Satan to the Highest Authority, and this settled the matter (Jude 9). Whenever someone wants to stand in my way, I report the fellow to the Most High.

In Daniel 4:35, we discover that God is the Sovereign One. “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say unto him, what doest thou?” God is the Only One who does what pleases Him.

Nobody can challenge His actions. This brings some major things into focus. First, if it seems as if He is promoting someone above you, you cannot challenge this and all you can do is accept His decision and never grumble. He is God and there is none like Him or beside Him. He has settled everything before the beginning of the world. He declares the right from the beginning. Second, whatever may be happening to you is what He has already planned for your life.

What is happening to your neighbour is what He has already planned for him or her. But if, rather than accepting His decisions in all matters, you seek to question His authority, you may be asking for trouble. When God has made up His mind on what you will become, whether the devil likes it or not, it will be so. He would do all His wishes.

God does not take orders from anyone. The Bible says: the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
