Jeremiah Burroughs:
“God’s sovereignty is his right to do as he pleases with his creation. He is not subject to anyone or anything, and he does not need anyone’s permission to act. As the Creator and Ruler of the universe, he governs all things according to his own will. His sovereignty is not limited by the will or actions of his creatures but encompasses them and directs them toward his own purposes. Though we may not always understand his ways, we can trust in his wisdom and goodness. In recognizing God’s sovereignty, we find humility and dependence, acknowledging our finite understanding and resting in his infinite wisdom.” (From “The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment”)
