How do we know God's sovereignty in the healing of the waters is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is demonstrated through His ability to heal and transform situations, as exemplified by Elisha's miracle at Jericho.

The miracle of healing the waters at Jericho serves as an explicit manifestation of God's sovereignty over creation and human afflictions. In 2 Kings 2:21-22, Elisha proclaims God's word over the waters, indicating it is not through any intrinsic power of the salt but solely by the decree of God that the waters are healed. This account reinforces the Reformed understanding of God's absolute sway over all elements of life and the natural world, validating that He can turn even the most detrimental circumstances into those that promote life and sustenance. This testimony of Scripture establishes a firm foundation for faith in God's ongoing sovereign action.
