MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS
Mar.22, 1999 Vol. IV Number 12
In Knowledge of the Holy, A.W. Tozer attempts to reconcile the seemingly contradictory beliefs of God’s sovereignty and man’s free will:
An ocean liner leave New York bound for Liverpool. Its destination has been determined by proper authorities. Nothing can change it. This is a least a faint picture of sovereignty.
On board the liner are scores of passengers. These are not in chains; neither are their activities determined for them by decrees. They are completely free to move about as they will. They eat, sleep, play, lounge about on the deck, read, talk, altogether as they please; but all the while the great liner is carrying them steadily onward toward a predetermined port.
Both freedom and sovereignty are present here, and they do not contradict. So it is, I believe, with man’s freedom and the sovereignty of God. The mighty liner of God’s sovereign design keeps its steady course over the sea of history.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
