How do we know that God is sovereign over interpretation?

God's sovereignty is the cornerstone of understanding scriptural interpretation. The preacher highlights that everything we say and do is under God's control, as illustrated in Proverbs 16:1, which states that 'the preparations of the heart of man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.' This reinforces that God sovereignly directs the events and thoughts leading to proper interpretation. Just as the butler's forgetfulness was orchestrated by God, we can trust that our understanding of scripture is also governed by His sovereign plan.
