NKJV 365 / Attributes of God

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 9 of 365

Attributes of God

He Is Sovereign

God alone is accountable to no one and is supreme in power, rank, authority, virtues, decrees, and work (Ps. 115:3). Strictly speaking, the title "Sovereign" belongs only to Him (Deut. 4:39).
Everything depends on God (Col. 1:16, 17), but He depends on nothing. Everything came from Him, but He came from nowhere because He has no beginning and no end (Ps. 90:2). He is the "I AM" (Ex. 3:14), the one of a kind (Is. 43:10, 11).
Since all life comes from Him, He rightfully retains ultimate authority (1 Tim. 6:15) and will do what He pleases (Ps. 135:6). He needs counsel from no one, and no one qualifies to give Him counsel (Rom. 9:20). The title "King of Kings" means just that. Even among kings, He is The King (Ps. 47:6, 7). This Sovereign One does not make occasional raids into our lives and world events; rather, He is intimately involved in the life of each person (Matt. 10:30) and rules the universe completely and perfectly (Is. 40:21-28).

Deuteronomy 4:39 NASB

39 Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the L ord , He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
