Thought for the Day ~ 11 December, 2024 A.D.

"God's sovereignty is exercised without obligation. Obligation is binding, and it destroys liberty in the sense of independence. Since God is totally independent, He is not obligated to do anything other than what He purposed before the foundation of the world. 

For this reason, God does not give the things people request unless what they request is according to His will. It is one thing to be pleased to fulfill an obligation and something else to do something from the pleasure of one's own will. God has the right to do what He will with His own (see Matthew 20:15)."

-W. E. Best, excerpt from 'God's Sovereignty is Absolute Arbitrariness'
