Sovereignty plus love and care

God is not limited by our limitations, discouraged by our discouragements, or hindered by our shortcomings. He is sovereign over all things! In the hands of a tyrant such as Herod, this kind of power could terrify and devastate, but when combined with God’s covenantal love and care for his creation and image bearers, it can fill us with hope and peace, no matter what the circumstances.
