“The world as a whole and in all its parts and movements and changes was brought into a unity by the governing, all-pervading, all-harmonizing activity of the divine will, and its purpose was to manifest the divine glory.”

God Reserves
God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God Inclines
No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Best at Heart
Written by Steve Pruitt
In all the darkest times of life
When your world seems to crumble
There’s one whose hand is firm to hold
And keeps you when you stumble
The sovereign God is still at work
His plans will never alter
He always has your best at heart
His love will never falter
Psalms 37:24, 145:14; Philippians 2:13; Romans 8:28, 39; 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Not Obligated
God is not obligated to save anybody, to make any special act of grace, to draw anyone to Himself. He could leave the whole world to perish, and such would be a righteous judgment.
R.C. Sproul
God Allows
Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Marvels
The marvel of marvels is not that God, in His infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that He has elected any.
B.B. Warfield
His Ordering
“In the infinite wisdom of the Lord of all the earth, each event falls with exact precision into its proper place in this unfolding of His eternal plan; nothing, however small, however strange, occurs without His ordering, or without its peculiar fitness for its place in the working out of His purposes; and the end of all shall be the manifestation of His glory, and accumulation of His praise.”
B.B. Warfield
