Whenever possible, I encourage you to go to the source and read the complete work of the author.

God is Sovereign

Posted on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 by Samuel

God is sovereign over people. He will move their hearts to cause them to do His will, or He will restrain them from doing anything contrary to His will. But it is His will, His agenda for our lives, that God will guard, protect, and advance. We must learn to live by His agenda if we are to trust Him. (Trusting God, 1988, p. 71)

If God is not sovereign in the decisions and actions of other people as they affect us, then there is a whole major area of our lives where we cannot trust God; where we are left, so to speak, to fend for ourselves. (Trusting God, 1988, p. 58)
