Day 21: The Sovereignty of God

·
By Monica Wilkinson
Attending the funeral of a friend’s father, I heard the song  “Sovereign Over Us” for the first time and tears began to stream down my face.  Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us.You’re with us in the fire and the flood.You’re faithful forever, perfect in love, You are sovereign over us. The truth of these words landed on my weary, numb and struggling heart during year 10 of my own father’s cancer diagnosis. I couldn’t grab…

Our Aim: To Think Rightly About God

An Excerpt from the Preface of The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer

“The message of this book does not grow out of these times but it is appropriate to them. It is called forth by a condition which has existed in the Church for some years and is steadily growing worse. I refer to the loss of the concept of majesty from the popular religious mind. The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has done not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us. A whole new philosophy of the Christian life has resulted from this one basic error in our religious thinking.

With our loss of the sense of majesty has come the further loss of religious awe and consciousness of the divine Presence. We have lost our spirit of worship and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence. Modern Christianity is simply not producing the kind of Christian who can appreciate or experience the life in the Spirit. The words, ‘Be still, and know that I am God,’ mean next to nothing to the self-confident, bustling worshiper in this middle period of the twentieth century.

This loss of the concept of majesty has come just when the forces of religion are making dramatic gains and the churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal; and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.”
