How do we know God's blessings are sovereignly dispensed?

Answered in 1 source

God's blessings, including those of the gospel, are entirely under His sovereign control, as seen in scripture.

Scripture consistently affirms that God's blessings are sovereignly dispensed according to His divine will. For instance, in Amos 4:7, we learn that the Lord decides when and to whom rain will fall, symbolizing His command over both nature and spiritual affairs. The idea that God's blessings are not randomly bestowed but are carefully measured according to His purpose is central to Reformed theology. We might desire blessings, much like a dry land craves rain, yet the reality is that the Lord gives these blessings to whom He wills, demonstrating His sovereign grace.
