Righteousness :<br />

Psalm 19:7-11 (from Life Application Bible, 1106)<br />

19:7-11 "When we think of law, we often think of something that keeps us<br />

from having fun. But here we see the opposite - law that revives us,<br />

makes us wise, gives joy to the heart, gives light to the eyes, warns us,<br />

and rewards us. That's because God's laws are guidelines and lights<br />

for our path, rather than chains on our hands and feet. They point<br />

at danger and warn us, then point at success and guide us."<br />

Sovereignty :<br />

In the final analysis, man does not break God's laws;<br />

God's laws break man.<br />

Sovereignty is the right to rule and reign. To say that God is<br />

sovereign is not to simply add another attribute or perfection<br />

to the list. It is to acknowledge that the Creator has ultimate<br />

sovereignty over all that He has created. He is the Potter;<br />

we are the clay. He is the Sovereign; we are His subjects. His<br />

will alone will be accomplished in eternity. There can be no<br />

pretenders to His throne, His realm, His rule. He is<br />

Absolute King with Absolute Authority.
