Tethered To God's Sovereignty
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 19, 2022 (message contributor)
Let’s do a math problem. If a sheep was tethered to a pole on a rope that was 25 feet long, how many square feet would he have to graze? p r² . Let’s begin by squaring 25, we end up with 625. Multiplying by an approximation of p as 3.14, we end up with 1,962.5 square feet.
We are tethered to God, if we keep our mind on Him. What He allows is represented by circle, with boundaries that He has established. Within that circle are many experiences, good and bad. But we must remind ourselves that we are tethered to Him, keeping our mind on Him.
