Scripture shows that God is sovereign over all creation, including demons and evil spirits, as evidenced by His sending of the flies in Egypt.
The biblical narrative makes it clear that God is sovereign over evil spirits. In Exodus 8, the swarms of flies represent not just physical pests but also evil spirits sent by God. These spirits are under His authority and serve His purposes, such as in the case of Job, where God permitted Satan to test him (Job 1:8-12). God remains in control of these forces, as seen in passages like 1 Kings 22, where He orchestrated a lying spirit to lure Ahab to his destruction. This sovereignty extends to the events of our lives today, reminding us that even when evil seems rampant, God is still in command.
