About Sovereign Love Series

There are two things we need to know and believe about God: His eternal power and His divine nature. Is God truly who He says He is: Sovereign Love?

Devotional

Habakkuk burst forth in exuberant recognition. A Magnificent God, a Flaming Force, utterly potent in the heavens:

Habakkuk 3:11
Sun and moon stood in their places; they went away at the light of Your arrows, at the radiance of Your gleaming spear. 

And upon the earth, no less a Fearsome God:

Habakkuk 3:6
He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and startled the nations. Yes, the perpetual mountains were shattered, and the ancient hills collapsed. 

The man who has met “I AM” – face to face – knows all he needs to know, and afterwards, can only joy his way through life.

(Excerpted from Martha Kilpatrick’s book, All and Only.)
