God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases (Psalm 115:3).

If we know that God is good, able, and faithful, we will find solace in His sovereignty. God doing as He pleases will not be met with disdain, but with delight. We will want Him to do what He wants.

What does not bring delight is the illusion of being in control. That brings exhaustion. While we have obligations and responsibilities, we recognize that all we have and all we do is by the providence and allowance of God. Not even Satan can move without God’s permission (cf. Job 1-2).

We can find comfort and solace in His sovereignty. Jesus is Lord. That statement is a confession and a consolation.
