God sits on His throne; therefore, Sovereign over all

"There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty... There is nothing for which the children of God ought more earnestly to contend than the kingship of God over all the works of His own hands...
On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated by worldlings... As the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the Sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah. Men will allow God to be everywhere except upon His throne... And when we proclaim an enthroned God, and His right to do as He wills with His own, to dispose of His creatures as He thinks well, without consulting them in the matter, then it is that... Men turn a deaf ear to us, for God on His throne is not the God they love.

They love him anywhere better than they do when He sits with His sceptre in His hand and His crown upon His head. But it is God upon the throne we love to preach. It is God upon His throne whom we trust."
-- C.H. Spurgeon, Divine Sovereignty

Proverbs 21:30, "there is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord."

May my inclination to deny these words die out--
May I ever trust in God who is Sovereign over all:
Creation, providence, salvation, and suffering.
May I neglect my hope of participation in regeneration,
And see that dead men don't ask for life!
May I not write God off as an idle observer,
But "keeper of the keys," One who governs all events.
May my trust in His enthronement lead to an abandonment of fearing man,
And an intoxication by Gods majesty that draws others to "taste and see!"
