How do we understand God's sovereignty?

Understanding God's sovereignty involves recognizing that He reigns supreme over all aspects of creation. Psalm 47 describes God as the great king over all the earth, indicating His control over nations and the course of history. Furthermore, Scripture teaches that God elects those whom He will save, ensuring that His purposes are accomplished (Ephesians 1:4-5). This sovereignty instills confidence in believers, knowing that nothing occurs outside of His perfect will. Our thankful response is rooted in the assurance that God is in control and working all things for His glory and our good.
