Sovereignty

“I know that You can do all things, And that no plan is impossible for You.

The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.

But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.

Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the ocean depths.

The mind of a person plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.

Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the LORD will stand.

Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded it?

All the inhabitants of the earth are of no account, But He does according to His will among the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can fend off His hand Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

Or does the potter not have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one object for honorable use, and another for common use?

In Him we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will,
