Scriptures: Psalm 104, Job 38, Romans 6 Psalm 104 and Job 38 pay perfect complement to one another. God holds together the waters and the stars. Job is interrogated for his questioning and anger with God. Yet the point of this interrogation is to remind Job of his own stature before the Mighty Lord God. God’s sovereignty is on display in all of creation, that’s the point of Job 38 and Psalm 104. In Romans 6, the sovereignty of God moves beyond the workings and splendor of creation towards the new creation of new life in Christ. We are no longer slaves to sin and death! All of this is a celebration of the sovereignty of God. In him, all things hold together. He holds you and me together. No longer separated by the cavern of sin and death. The rising waters of sin that separated us, are held back. You are free to draw near to him. You've joined in a death like Christ, that you may now have a life like his as well. Our response is to walk with God in the righteousness of our Savior, trusting in the sovereignty of God. Jordan
