There's no way to know what might happen tomorrow. But nothing surprises God! When Joseph found out Mary was pregnant, his whole world was turned upside down. But his response informs our own lives. How can we align our hearts with God's, being willingly obedient to what He wants to do in our lives?

Though you don't hear the word "sovereign" that often, it's an important attribute of God. Being sovereign means God is in charge and is in control.

Theologians say that God is "omniscient", meaning He is all-knowing. Understanding that God is omniscient can be comforting, terrifying, or something in between. How does it affect your life that God knows everything about you, the good and the bad?

Love. A word we use every day: we love movies, we love food, we love people. Yet the way God defines love is important, since the Bible explains that God IS love! How can you enlarge your understanding of God's love, and how will it express itself in your own life?

Where is God? Some might answer Heaven, or in their heart, or in everything. Psalm 139 paints a vivid and personal picture of God's omnipresence, that He's everywhere. So how do you live in the reality that God is present with you no matter where you go?
