I've been reading The Attributes of God by A.W. Pink. It's an excellent book which I recommend to everybody. Each chapter is a different attribute of God and the book really makes you think about how wonderful God is. In the chapter talking about God's sovereignty there's a quote which I love. That quote is by Spurgeon and it says "There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of god's sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all" I love this quote because I've been going through a tough month but through it all, I've had faith that God has a reason for what I went through. Although there were times when I just wanted to give up on everything and lose faith that God was there, it was too hard for me. As Jeremiah said, "His word is like a fire in my bones..." (Jer. 20:9). Throughout my tough times, I held fast onto the belief that God had a reason for everything and that there was something better on the other side.
God's sovereignty was what helped pull me through. If I didn't believe that there was a reason for my suffering or that there would be something better for me, there would have been no hope in my life. But praise be to God that His will is sovereign over everything and He is in control of even the most minute details.
