SOVEREIGNTY DEFINED:
#1: God has ABSOLUTE RULE over creation as Creator and King; and TOTAL CONTROL AND DETERMINATION over all that happens.

#2: God's sovereignty is His RIGHT AND POWER to do ALL HE DECIDES TO DO.

CENTRAL TRUTH:
Even when people are OUT OF CONTROL, God is always IN CONTROL.

SO THEN:
God is sovereign in spite of the PERSONAL FLAWS of those He chooses.
God is sovereign in spite of FAMILY ORIGIN AND DYSFUNCTION.

CLOSING AFFIRMATION:
If God can use SOMEONE LIKE JOSEPH, then He can USE ME FOR HIS PURPOSES.
