How do we know that God is sovereign over the affairs of men?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God is evident throughout Scripture, showcasing that He controls all events according to His will (Proverbs 16:9).

God's sovereignty is central to our understanding of His nature and the unfolding of history. Proverbs 16:9 states, 'The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.' This emphasizes that despite human intentions, God ultimately orchestrates everything according to His divine plan. Numerous examples in the Bible illustrate this, from the rise and fall of kings to the events surrounding the life of His people, showing that God uses even the actions of wicked men to fulfill His purposes, as seen in the story of Joseph (Genesis 50:20). In every situation, God is in control, working all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
