Sovereign

The title of my post has a two-fold meaning. When I look up the word Sovereign in the dictionary, the noun refers to a King, a ruler or a supreme authority. In the adjective sense, sovereign means having supreme rank or authority, preeminent, indisputable, greatest in degree, and refers to that which is above all others in character, importance and excellence. Have you ever heard it said that God is sovereign? I have. It got me thinking.

If He is preeminent, that means that He is above and before all others. He should be this in my life. It also means that if He is indisputable, His Word holds firm and will always be true, unquestionable, reliable, stable and certain. Some things are not written in the Bible, like who I will marry, whether or not I have children, if I sing before millions and lead people to Christ...BUT the things that are written in the Bible, that He guides and directs my path, that He perfects that which concerns me...those are indisputable truths. WOW. If God is the supreme authority, that means that everything else, everything, is under Him and His reign.

This past week I spent a lot of time in silence, praying and thinking. I asked myself, "what will I do if He doesn't provide anything in Seattle? Will you just give up? Won't people think you did not trust Him enough?" I know that these are my fears and my insecurities talking. I will follow Him where His light is dim, His voice is heard small, where His healing power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earth (ORU's creed). That may or may not include Seattle. BUT I will work towards that goal, and if I do not see it come to fruition, I will follow Him wherever, with all the strength that He has given me.

On Monday I got a phone call from a company in Bellevue, Washington that was very interested in me for a Financial Associate position. We had a long phone interview that ended with them telling me that I was very qualified and had the background they are looking for. This afternoon I received an email that they want to continue talking to me and they want to do another phone interview this week with the entire office. The company's name (part of it anyway) is Sovereign. Do I think this is a coincidence? Not at all.
