Sovereign means that God makes His own plans and carries them out in His own
time and way.
“…His rule is everlasting, and His kingdom is eternal. All the people of the earth are
nothing compared to Him. He has the power to do as He pleases among the angels of
heaven and with those who live on earth. No one can stop Him…” (Daniel 4:34-35, NLT).
