How do we know that God is in control over human plans?

Answered in 1 source

The account of Babel illustrates that no human scheme can thwart God's purposes, as He intervened to scatter the people and confuse their language (Genesis 11:7).

The divine intervention at Babel serves as a profound reminder that God's sovereignty reigns supreme over human intentions. The builders of Babel plotted to create a city and a tower for themselves, thinking they could achieve greatness without God's will. However, God decisively confounded their language and scattered them across the earth, demonstrating that human efforts are powerless against divine decree (Genesis 11:7-9). This event catalyzed the realization that while mankind may attempt to rise above their assigned roles, God ultimately directs history according to His sovereign will. For believers, this assurance reinforces the truth that our endeavors must align with God’s purpose, lest we face the inevitable consequence of futility.
