Daily Bible Verse - Psalm 115:3 - Our God is in heaven ...

NIV Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
KJV But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
NASB But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
Psalm 115:3

Commentary

It should be apparent now to all the world that the true God is transcendent-"Our God is in heaven" and He is sovereign-"He does whatever He pleases."

MacDonald, W., & Farstad, A. (1997, c1995). Believer's Bible Commentary : Old and New Testaments (Ps 115:3). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

Sovereignty of God - His absolute right to do all things according to his own good pleasure (Dan. 4:25, 35; Rom. 9:15-23; 1 Tim. 6:15; Rev. 4:11).

Daily Bible Verse - Ecclesiastes 11:5 - As you do not know the path of the wind ...

NIV As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother's womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
KJV As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
NASB Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Commentary

We don't understand the movements of the wind or how the bones are formed in the womb of an expectant mother. Neither do we understand all that God does or why He does it.
