Jacqueline organized this activity: "Count the Candies". For 1 ticket, students guessed the number of candies in the jar. We wrote it down (& each kid got a candy for guessing!) and Daniel announced the winner at 5:30. It was a cute elementary school girl who won and she was quite excited of course!
It was 2:30pm on Wednesday and the Flea Market was ready to roll...Used items had been collected by each class, price tags were attached, events were prepared... All the classes were lined up outside and Daniel steps up to the mic. .."Let the games begin!" (All proceeds to go to a local orphanage!!!) At 5:30, it was announced that our class (Delta) won 1st prize for selling the most! Praise God! (just under 60,000 won!) We were given mechanical pencils and orange juice for our effort.
The Doctrine of God - Sovereignty of God
"Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and understanding;" (Ephesians 1:8)
Sovereignty means God is the supreme Ruler over all. While we are free moral agents, we are, nevertheless, subject to His sovereign will and purposes. Everything is subject to His judgment. He is ultimately in control, although He often works indirectly through others.
Illustration: Even Satan cannot oppose the work of God unless God so permits. Before Satan could attack Job, he first had to obtain the permission of God (Job 1,2).
Application: Many Christians find great comfort in knowing that God is in control of their every circumstance.
