But our God is in the heavens
His habitation is in the heavens, as the Targum; the Septuagint
and Arabic versions add, "and in earth": he is in both, and fills
both with his presence; and cannot be contained in either. He is
the Maker and Possessor of heaven and earth; the one is his
throne, and the other is his footstool: he dwells in the highest
heaven, and overlooks all persons and things on earth, and
overrules all; he is higher than the highest, and his kingdom
ruleth over all.
He hath done whatsoever he pleased;
in creation, in providence, and in grace: he hath made what
creatures he pleased, and for his pleasure; and he does according
to his will, and after the counsel of it, in heaven and in earth;
and is gracious to whom he will be gracious; saves and calls men,
not according to their works, but according to his own purpose
and will; whose counsel shall stand, and he will do all his
pleasure; he is the most high God, and a sovereign Being; all
that he wills are possible to him, and easily done by him, and
which Heathens themselves own F24.
