A Celebration of Sovereignty

A sampling of passages on the topic of God's sovereignty ...

[God] works all things according to the counsel of His will (Eph 1:11).

... one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all (Eph 4:6).

... He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen (1 Tim 6:15-16).

For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations (Psa 22:28).

The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it (Psa 24:1).

Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases (Psa 115:3).

I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the LORD, who does all these things (Isa 45:6-7).

Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth? (Lam 3:37-38).

"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him (Dan 2:20-22).

For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof (1 Cor 10:26).

The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He will (Prov 21:1).

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations (Psa 145:13).

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me" (Matt 28:18).

Say what you will, I think it is clear that the Bible claims that God is the ultimate sovereign. And think what you want, I am personally very happy that He is.
