How do we know that God is sovereign in our growth?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in our growth is affirmed in scripture, particularly in Mark 4:28, which teaches that the earth brings forth fruit of itself, representing God's divine intervention in our spiritual lives.

The sovereignty of God is central to Reformed theology and is illustrated in the parable of the growing seed (Mark 4:26-29). In this parable, the seed grows without the farmer's knowledge of how it happens, emphasizing God’s role in spiritual growth. The growth of faith and grace in a believer’s life is not dependent on human effort but is a result of God's sovereign will and purpose. Scriptural references such as John 15:5 remind us that apart from Christ, we can do nothing, underscoring our complete dependence on God's grace for spiritual vitality.
