God Attribute, 197

 

~ God Is Sovereign Over the Plans of Men, 3 ~

 

This Series ~ This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction ~ When we say God is sovereign, we are saying that He is in absolute control at all times and that He rules over all things.

 

Scripture ~ “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; ¹⁴ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. ¹⁵ Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that’” (James 4:13-15).

 

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9).

 

“There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand” (Proverbs 19:21).

 

“A man’s steps are of the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way?” (Proverbs 20:24).

 

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes” (Proverbs 21:1).
