What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over events?

Scripture clearly reveals that God is sovereign over all aspects of creation and events. In Isaiah 46:9-10, God declares, 'I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning.' This indicates that God not only knows the future but has ordained it. His purposes cannot be thwarted by human actions or decisions, as He works all things according to the counsel of His will (Ephesians 1:11). The natural man often resists this truth, preferring to think of God as limited in His abilities or at the mercy of human choices. However, the correct understanding of Scripture emphasizes that God’s will shapes the will of man, not the other way around.
