How do we know that God's sovereignty is shown in the plagues?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is evident in the plagues as He directly controlled their intensity and timing, demonstrating His power over creation.

The illustrations of God's sovereignty during the plagues of Egypt are unmistakable, as detailed in the narratives of Exodus. God not only initiated each plague but also determined its effects and duration, showcasing His absolute control over both the elements and the hearts of men. For instance, when Pharaoh's heart was hardened, it was by God's sovereign will (Exodus 9:12); this emphasizes that the Lord is not only the agent of the plagues but also the one who wields authority over all creation. God's intention was to reveal His power to both the Egyptians and the Israelites, asserting that He is the sole deity worthy of worship. This portrayal of sovereignty reassures believers of God's control over all circumstances and affirms that His plans cannot be thwarted.
