Daniel Part 1: Our Sovereign God

Grace Church Swansboro

“The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which the child of God rests his head at night, giving perfect peace… There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty.”

– Charles Spurgeon

Sermon: Daniel Part 1: Our Sovereign God

Main Point: Think rightly by adopting, rejoicing, and resting in God’s

sovereignty.

I. Who was Nebuchadnezzar?

II. What did he confess?

See Daniel 4:34-35; Psalms 115:3, 135:6

“Divine sovereignty is not the sovereignty of a tyrannical Despot, but the exercised pleasure of One who is infinitely wise and good! Because God is infinitely wise He cannot err, and because He is infinitely righteous He will not do wrong. Here then is the preciousness of this truth. The mere fact itself that God’s will is irresistible and irreversible fills me with fear, but once I realize that God wills only that which is good, my heart is made to rejoice.” – A.W. Pink

Application

1. If we are thinking rightly, we will adopt the doctrine of God’s sovereignty.

See Psalm 103:19, 33:10-11; Isaiah 46:8-10

2. If we are thinking rightly, we will rejoice in the doctrine of God’s sovereignty.

3. If we are thinking rightly, we will rest in the doctrine of God’s sovereignty.

Conclusion

“If there be a God, a King, eternal, immortal, and invisible, He cannot but be sovereign – and He cannot but do according to His own will and choose according to His own purpose. You may dislike these doctrines, but you can only get free of them by denying altogether the existence of an infinitely wise, glorious, and powerful Being. God would not be God were He not thus absolutely sovereign in His present doings and His eternal pre-arrangements.” – Horatius Bonar
