The Sovereign Prerogatives of God. Part [2] 12/22/2024 (Morning thought)

The same scenario, where executive orders are issued, often takes place with what God does, or what He permits, for there are those who will agree, and there are those who will object, but God reserves the sovereign prerogative to do as He pleases, which is a truth we as mortals will have to be reconciled to. In many instances God may offer us an explanation, as He has done numerous times in the Scripture and through His chosen prophets. But God is not duty- bound to give any reasons for doing such and such.

There have been times, and there will be occasions where God may see fit not to reveal any fine details, or explanations about some situation or incident so as to procure the very best outcome in the interest of all concerned. Therefore, as we study the sovereign prerogatives of God, let us do so with a humble heart and teachable spirit, so that the relation of the creature to the one and only Creator might be clearly understood. The following therefore are some of The Lord’s sole prerogatives in His singular capacity as Sovereign of the universe, including our world.

[1] It is His sovereign prerogative to issue executive orders, with, or without any explanations, as He sees fit.

Daniel 4:13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven; 14 He cried aloud, and said thus, hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches. 15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

Daniel 4:16 Let his heart be changed from a man's and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
