I take great delight in the sovereignty of God.

Sometimes my Calvinist Brother’s and Sisters seem to perceive the Sovereignty of God in a very narrow or negative way (I.e. God is sovereign over who repents and who doesn’t.) But when I think of God’s sovereignty, I think of God’s personal care over me like a good shepherd. The Apostle Paul experiences shepherding like this when he was caught in a storm while imprisoned on a Roman ship. Paul encouraged his frightened ship mates with this prophetic word of comfort:

“Take heart! No lives will be lost—only the ship. Last night, you see, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I worship, stood beside me. ‘Don’t be afraid Paul...God has granted you all your traveling companions.’ So take heart, my friends. I believe God...”
Acts 27:22-23,24-25

The Sovereignty Of God is good news of comfort and peace. God is sovereign over nations and situations today too.
