Meditation
Desiring God by John Piper
"Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases" (Psalm 155:3).
The implication of this text is that God has the right and power to do whatever makes Him happy. That is what it means to say God is sovereign.
Think about it for a moment: If God is sovereign and can do any thing He pleases, then none of His purposes can be frustrated.
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORDS stands forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. (Pslam 33:10-11)
Can you imagine what it would be like if the God who ruled the world were not happy? What if God were given to grumbling and pouting and depression like some Jack-and-the-beanstalk giant in the sky? What if God were frustrated and despondent and gloomy and dismal and discontented and dejected? Could we join David and say, "O, God, thou art my God, I seek thee; my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is" (Psalm 63:1)?
