Anxiety vs Sovereignty

-
God is not crippled by self doubt or anxiety. His throne is established forever.
Enjoy being in his presence frequently so that you grow in confidence & assurance of his sovereignty not only as a biblical doctrine but a reality that brings peace & poise to your life.

series: Our Living Word 2/4 different thoughts and connections with Hosea 6:6 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is important to Jesus I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time.

It is a well-known prayer even for non-Christians. However, not many people know that it is basically a prayer pattern and not a mantra that loses its meaning after a while. Many people today pray it auto­matically. But Jesus the King prays it systematically . Some of the phrases below even need to be updated for the better under­standing of meaning. We must see that Jesus Christ showed this pattern to his disciples to give them a framework for their daily prayer. It is a preference & reference too: for Jesus, the key issue is that God's names be known and His Kingdom be here on Earth in the splendour and power as it is in Heaven.
