In this weeks teaching Paul shares how in late 2021 the fear of the Lord came upon him, when God opened his eyes to the profound reality of God’s sovereignty and how God truly does work in all things for good for those who love God and live according to His purpose for them.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
