Life, Death and Learning
This has been a tough year for many of those closest to me as well as myself. 2 months ago we had a miscarriage and all I could lean on was the fact that God is sovereign. There is no swaying that and allowing myself to believe otherwise would not enable me to be there for my wife as she grieved, which in turn I put off because I was focused on the kids and her. Then I was listening to a sermon (can't remember if it was Piper, Driscoll, Stanley, or Dukes) but the term grace was used. This word grace set off a sensor in my brain that took me back to a place from a year earlier when my small group had studied 1st Peter and we looked at the story of Noah. It says in Genesis that Noah was shown favor, that of course is the OT (Old Testament) term for grace. And I thought on this word favor which led to my writing the following couple paragraphs which I have never published until now: Sovereignty has been something disputed. Is God sovereign or isn't He? He obviously can't be it...
