The Lord's Sovereign Supremacy - Ruminating in the Word of God

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Isaiah 43:13c,

"When I [the Lord God] act, who can reverse it?"

Here is the Lord's self disclosure of his sovereign supremacy. We learn from the scriptures that it is a sovereignty that transcends our world, the heavens, the universe: beyond the dimensions of time and space. As he says in verses 10-13,
"'You [Israel] are my witnesses,' declares the Lord,
    'and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.
I, even I, am the Lord,
    and apart from me there is no savior.
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,' declares the Lord, 'that I am God.
    Yes, and from ancient days I am he.'"

Verse 13c reminds me of Proverbs 21:30, "There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord." The Lord's purposes can never be thwarted!
