How do we know God's purpose is sovereign?

Answered in 2 sources

God's sovereignty is evident through His unthwartable purpose, as highlighted in the lives of biblical figures like David, who trusted in God's plan amid danger.

The sovereignty of God is a foundational principle in Reformed theology, underlining that God's purpose cannot be thwarted by human actions. The case of David, who recognized that there was only a step between him and death at the hands of King Saul, illustrates this point. He understood that God had ordained him to be king, and despite Saul's malice, God's purpose for David's life would prevail. This belief invites believers to trust in God's plan, affirming the necessity of submission to His will rather than trying to control our destinies. Scriptures affirm God's sovereign rule, reminding us that His designs for our lives are perfect and cannot be hindered by human efforts.
