God directs the affairs of men through His sovereign will, ensuring that all events occur according to His divine purpose.
The sovereignty of God over earthly affairs is illustrated throughout the Scriptures. In Daniel 2:21, we are reminded that God changes times and seasons; He removes and sets up kings, demonstrating His control over rulers and governments. This theme is echoed in Esther, where King Ahasuerus's promotion of Haman occurs not by chance but by God's sovereign will. Even when it appears that men act independently, it is ultimately God's purpose that prevails, as every decision falls under His divine authority. Romans 13:1 reinforces this by stating that there is no authority except from God, and that those who exist have been instituted by Him.
