 that fits neither the evidence of Scripture nor the logic of Christian theism. The last option is that God is actually the sovereign Lord, the Creator God of the universe, and that He exercises His sovereignty over all the world, all the cosmos, all the time. Now, I'm going to state that that is exactly what I believe the Bible teaches, that is exactly, I believe, what the psalmist affirms, that is exactly what gives meaning to life, and it is precisely what gives us hope.
