How does God's sovereignty relate to His goodness?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is inherently good, as His actions are always just and right, stemming from His holy nature.

Understanding God’s sovereignty in relation to His goodness is vital to Reformed theology. God's sovereignty means that He governs all creation according to His will. Importantly, His sovereignty does not negate His goodness; rather, it affirms it. Everything that God does is right and has an eternal purpose, as seen in Psalm 95 where God is described as great and worthy of praise. His judgments and actions are rooted in His character, which is holy and just, ensuring that even when we do not understand His ways, we can trust that His purposes are good and aimed at ultimately glorifying Himself and providing for His creation.
