~ God Is
Sovereign Over Life, Health, and Death, 5 ~
This
Series
~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ When we
say God is sovereign, we are saying that He is in absolute control at all times
and that He rules over all things.
Scripture ~ “Now see
that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make
alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any” (Deuteronomy 32:39).
“The Lord kills and makes
alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up” (1 Samuel 2:6).
“My times are in Your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me (Psalm
31:15).
“Our God is the God of salvation; and to God the Lord belong escapes from
death” Psalm 68:20).
Your eyes saw my substance, being
yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for
me, when as yet there were none of them” (Psalm 139:16).
“And you have lifted yourself up
against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before
you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine
from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron,
wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your
breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified” (Daniel
5:23).
“So the Lord said to him, ‘Who
has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the
blind? Have not I, the Lord’?”
(Exodus 4:11).
Comment ~ Throughout
the four Gospels we find Jesus Christ healing and even restoring life to some
who were physically dead!
