Dear Friends,

Did you know that there are actually people who want to push God off His throne? And it’s nothing new! Have you fallen for this foolishness? Today’s devotional will explain. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

• Daniel 4:35

  Daniel 4:35   English Standard Version (ESV)
  35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
  and he does according to his will among the host of heaven
  and among the inhabitants of the earth;
  and none can stay his hand
  or say to him, “What have you done?”

Daniel 4:35

“Some quarrel with God as a Sovereign, and no doctrine makes them grind their teeth like the glorious truth of divine sovereignty. They profess to want a god, but he must not be on a throne; he must not be King, he must not be absolute and universal Monarch; he must do as his creatures tell him, not as he himself wills. I adore that God who says, ‘I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.’”

[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIV, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1898), p. 5-6]
