Sovereignty is the term the bible uses to describe god's perfect control and management of the universe. he preserves and governs every element. he's continually involved with all created things, directing them to act in a way that fulfills his divine purpose. that's why the most stressed-out people are control freaks. they fail at the quest they most pursue. the more they try to control the world, the more they realize they cannot. life becomes a cycle of anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure. we can't take control, because control is not ours to take.

One can imagine that god created the universe at literally any time in the past. on the other hand, if the universe is expanding, there may be physical reasons why there had to be a beginning. one could imagine that god created the universe at the instant of the big bang, or even afterwards in just such a way as to make it look as though there had been a big bang, but it would be meaningless to suppose that it was created before the big bang. an expanding universe does not preclude a creator, but it does place limits on when he might have carried out his job!

There's this indian fellow who worked out a cycle like the idea of stone-age, bronze-age, only he did it on an indian one. the cycle goes from nothing until now and 20th century and then on and right around the cycle until the people are really grooving and then just sinks back into ignorance until it gets back into the beginning again. so the 20th century is a fraction of that cycle, and how many of those cycles has it done yet? it's done as many as you think and all these times it's been through exactly the same things, and it'll be this again.

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

Most men in a concentration camp believed that the real opportunities of life had passed. yet, in reality, there was an opportunity and a challenge. one could make a victory of those experiences, turning life into an inner triumph, or one could ignore the challenge and simply vegetate, as did a majority of the prisoners.

Psalm 34 says, 'those who trust in the lord will never lack any good thing.' this means if you don't have it right now, you don't need it right now. our attitude should be, 'i'm equipped, empowered and anointed for this moment. i am not lacking, shortchanged or inadequate. i have what i need for today.'
