The Sovereignty of God is the biblical
teaching that all things are under God's rule and control,
and that nothing happens without His direction or permission.
God works not just some things but all things according
to the counsel of His own will (see Eph. 1:11). His purposes
are all-inclusive and never thwarted (see Isa. 46:11);
nothing takes Him by surprise. (FROM
