I have noticed a trend as I have observed the people of God in my role as pastor. The trend is this - when things go our way we are quick to thank God for His sovereignty, but when things do not go our way, we are very hesitant to mention the sovereignty of God. For instance. We in the US had an election recently. Those who voted for Trump were quick to praise God for His sovereignty over all things. I would imagine that those that did not (in our neck of the woods a minority) are not in this moment praising God for His sovereignty. In my own life I notice that when test results came back good I was quick to praise God but when they came back poorly, or even inconclusively, I was much slower to praise God. I wonder what this reveals about us. Perhaps it is that we really think we are in charge and we are telling God what He can use His power to do. When He does what we want - we praise. When He does that which we did not want - we withhold our praise. This says much more about us than it does about God.
The Scriptures are clear. God is in control of all things. He does all things for His own good pleasure, glory, and will. And we are here to recognize the benefit for us in all that He does. No matter our perspective on it - God is good. We need to praise Him without regard for how we feel about what He has done. May God help us to praise Him in all things, at all times and for all the things He has done.
