Can You Trust God?: Understanding God's Sovereignty Reuben Lane Egolf

Can I Trust God? We live in a world where instability has become the norm, and where so many carry deep hurt from trust that has been broken by family and friends. This life, full of un-kept promises, has left many wondering if anyone can be trusted. Some wonder if even God can be trusted! They ask, ?How can you trust God when tragedies abound, when injustices creep up at every turn, and when prayers for the sick and the downtrodden go unanswered?? This list of grievances could be endless, but in this book, we will help you learn how to trust God by strengthening your faith and removing all doubts about him. This book is not intended to be an exhaustive study on the subject of God?s sovereignty. Its purpose is to lay the necessary groundwork for building faith and to provide a proper spiritual perspective concerning God?s reasons for the decisions he makes. I believe it will bring some clarity to a misunderstood subject. This book will answer the following questions: Does God?s sovereignty mean that he can ignore his own written Word, the Bible? What does it mean when the Bible says that God?s ways are higher than our ways? What does it mean when the Bible says that God loved Jacob but hated Esau? How important was it for earthly kings in the Bible to maintain integrity by not breaking their word? How important is it today? Is God predictable? Does he base decisions on a whim or on his written Word, the Bible?
