In my studies this week for this Sunday's sermon at Calvary Church on Daniel, Chapter 11, I came across some great thoughts on the Sovereignty of God from Old Testament Scholar Iain M. Duguid...
"Yet at the end of the story, and for all their
vaunted power, the kingdoms of this world can neither destroy God’s work nor
establish it. They are merely tools in
the hand of a sovereign God who is able to declare the end from the beginning
because He alone ultimately controls the affairs of men and nations…"
"This truth is of great practical value in each of our lives. We all experience times when our existence seems caught up in a larger conflict that is completely out of our control..."
"In such times of personal uncertainty, we need to cling firmly onto the knowledge that all of world events, from the greatest to the least, are not only known ahead of time to God but are under his sovereign power to control."
-Iain M. Duguid (pg. 201, Daniel - Reformed Expository Commentary)
