autonomy

Psalm 135:5-7 (JDV)

Psalm 135:5 You see, I know that Yahveh is great; our Lord is greater than all gods.
Psalm 135:6 Yahveh does whatever he wants in the sky and on land, in the seas and all the depths.
Psalm 135:7 He makes the clouds rise from the ends of the land. He produces lightning for the rain and brings the wind from his storehouses.

autonomy

The only one with true autonomy is our God. He is greater than all of his creation, including those spirit beings masquerading as the gods of the nations. He is not influenced by others. He is the uninfluenced influencer. What passes as autonomy for us is merely anarchy. Hopefully, we will not wait until judgment day to find out who we had let control our lives while we pretended to have free will. The wisest and most responsible choice we can make right now is “thy will be done.”
