The Supremacy of God

I love to be reminded that God has the power to do anything He wants and that He orders all the events that take place. It helps me to so much more grateful for His mercies. Check out The President, The Passengers, and The Patience of God by John Piper for a beautiful description of the supremacy and mercy God in the events that took place over the last week.
"Sometimes we are so overwhelmed at being treated better than we deserve that we must exult in the all-sovereign God—the God of birds' flight and Obama’s rise. When King David pondered how many were God’s “wondrous deeds,” he said, “I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told” (Psalm 40:5). That’s the way I feel watching God’s public mercies in the last few days"... Read the rest here.
Because of the steadfast love of the LORD, we are not cut off his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
