One thing for sure, all those who walked the earth, God brought forth. Though many proclaim with mouth and words, “I made myself who I am,” they forget that they did not bring themself from their mother’s womb. They did not bring cells together. They did not form DNA. They did not place themself where they were born. They did not say, “I will be born at this time, in this place, with these relatives, with these circumstances.” Though they claim to control their life, they cannot control the weather, animals, the earth and sun, or even a small a virus. When an unforeseen enemy comes, they have not controlled their sudden downfall. What confidence can they really have when they trust in themselves? Such people are always afraid.
However, the person whose hope is in the Lord Jesus has sure confidence. The man and woman who relies on God will ever praise him. Jesus is a strong refuge from birth to old age, through wealth and hard time, through health and sickness, through attack and victory, and through health and illness.
Why? Because Jesus is Sovereign Lord. Sovereign means he is to total and absolute control. What he says happens. What he stops, no one can start again. When he says, “Be still,” the waves and wind are quiet. When he says, “Be healed,” the disease is gone. When he says, “Leave him,” the demon flees. His name be praise forever more.
