The Sovereignty of God Does whatever He Pleases in and of Himself Psalm 135:4-7



Psalm 135: 3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

The natural man does not accept the truth of God's Sovereignty and God's Sovereign Free will to do whatever God Pleases in the Revelation of Himself to those He has chosen and those whom He loves! Indeed Psalm 135 teaches God's great sovereignty to Choose His people for His own. And in the Natural order of the Weather,describes How God is in control of the Heavens and Earth to bring forth clouds, lightening with rain and bring forth the winds! Indeed, inclimate weather is a picture of God's Sovereignty to control the weather. Jesus even declared to Nicodemus, the winds blow wherever it will, yet you do not from where it came and where it goes. John 3:8 "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The Natural man is man centered in his theology that in his mind, he thinks that only he has free will to choose, and that God is passively waiting around for them to do so.
Indeed, the natural man claims to have freedom to choose Grace or not. The natural man thinks they have free will to choose to accept Jesus or reject him; Yet are deceived in themselves. They have a will--true, and they do choose indeed, but when they choose they will always choose to be at enmity with God because their will is in bondage to sin; whatever they choose will indeed reveal that their will is dead to the will of God and they are impotent to deliver themselves! As the Apostle Paul Declares in Romans 8:7 "the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." John 15 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." 

The only way for the natural man to be delivered from their hostility and enmity against God, is that You Must be born-again! Unless you are quickened by the Holy Spirit and made alive in Christ, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God, let alone choose to believe in Christ. Only Christ can set you free and if you are set free, then you will be free indeed and your will made alive to submit to God's Sovereign will.
John 3:3 " 3 In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again"

The Natural man's will is not free unless it is freed by Jesus Christ and redeemed in the blood of Christ in whom there is redemption and forgiveness, and made alive by the Holy Spirit with a new nature, the nature of Christ. Then discover your will to be submitted to the Will of God's Sovereign Free will to forelove those He has chosen before the foundation of the world.
