Description

Adversity is a fact of life. Everyone at every level of society experiences adversity, and indeed, if they have not, they just haven't lived long enough. The fictional Robinson Crusoe, a character and story developed by Daniel Defoe and published in 1719 tells his shipwrecked alone on a deserted island for many years and how Crusoe moved from cursing God to worshipping and praising God for the same circumstances. What Defoe is doing in this classic of English literature is teaching us about the sovereignty of God. How we deal with adversity will say a lot about what we understand about the God of the Bible and His work in this world. Accident and mistake are not in his vocabulary. He is a "No-Oops" God. Sovereignty is a wonderful, liberating, and comforting attribute of our Heavenly Father, the God of the Universe.
