Ezekiel 37:9 ESV (9) Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."

A god who does not rule all things absolutely

"Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him!" Psalm 115:3

A god who does not rule all things absolutely is no God at all--but only a weak, frustrated, defeated idol, carved from one of the trees in the dark forest of man’s depraved imagination!

"I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. The LORD does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths!" Psalm 135:5-6

"All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: 'What have You done?' " Daniel 4:35

I am glad it pleased Him to have you post this, brother!

And it pleases Him to have men teach heresy, and insult the Spirit of grace, and even blaspheme the Son of God. In short, it pleases this Sovereign Ruler to allow men their own choice to do so.

That is the ultimate sovereignty. Perhaps a god who needs no prospect of rebellion in order to rule is a god of limitations.
