How do we know that God's sovereignty is evident in Jonah?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is evident throughout the book of Jonah, as seen in His control over nature, the storm, and Jonah's circumstances.

The narrative of Jonah showcases God's sovereignty in numerous elements—when God commands Jonah to preach to Nineveh, Jonah's flight is thwarted by a divinely orchestrated storm. Here, God's absolute control is exemplified as He prepares both the storm and the great fish that swallows Jonah, indicating that God's will prevails over all human decisions. This display of sovereignty underlines a core belief in Reformed theology: that God is ultimately in charge of all events and actions, guiding them according to His divine purpose for His glory and the salvation of His people.
