Acts 5:1-7:60
What God said to me – What you must always remember whatever you are going through in your life, whether good or bad is that “I AM” sovereign. In the good times, it’s easy not to think about it and in the difficult times, it’s easy to question it, so you must purpose to meditate on that truth and hold it close to your heart. Dwell much on that one thing . . . grasp it and make it your own so that when difficult times come, it’s an easy thing to hold on and walk with Me and trust Me. Your unbelief and lack of trust doesn’t change the fact that “I AM” in control, but it makes your struggles so much more difficult. When you acknowledge My sovereignty in your life and in the world and live in the light of it, My peace will fill you and you become an instrument useful to Me and pleasing to Me.
So good. Determine God’s sovereignty now, not in the difficult times. This is what we talk about in marriage as well – predetermine now that divorce is not an option, so when the difficult time occurs, you have already made that determination ahead of time.
