Sovereignty can be defined as:
- Supreme Excellence
- Supreme Power
- Freedom from external control
- Autonomy
- Controlling Influence
We may not always understand or agree with what and how God does things, but we must learn to accept what God allows in our lives. For it is He that created us and knows what’s best for us.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV)
God is Sovereign
"For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy." (Romans 9:15-16 KJV)
