God is the Sovereign Lord of history. But we are not mere robots. You are not being moved around like a piece on a chessboard. Rather, you have a part to play. God involves you in his plans. God works out his purposes in co-operation with his people.
Proverbs 30:11–23, Revelation 5:1–14, Esther 9:1–10:3
Doing hard things requires us to be lion-like – bold, steely and courageous. Doing things the right way means being like a lamb – gentle, meek and submissive. We are supposed to be a godly mixture of the qualities of both the lion and the lamb.
Psalm 142:1–7, Revelation 4:1–11, Esther 6:1–8:17
