Sovereignty

But let it be said very emphatically that the heart can only rest upon and enjoy the blessed truth of the absolute sovereignty of God as faith is exercised. 

Faith is ever occupied with God. That is the character of it, that is what differentiates it from intellectual theology. Faith endures as 'seeing Him who is invisible' (Heb 11:27); endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognising that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind. But so long as we are occupied with any other object than God himself, there will be neither rest for the heart nor peace for the mind.
