The Doctrine of God - Sovereignty of God
"Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and understanding;" (Ephesians 1:8)
Sovereignty means God is the supreme Ruler over all. While we are free moral agents, we are, nevertheless, subject to His sovereign will and purposes. Everything is subject to His judgment. He is ultimately in control, although He often works indirectly through others.
Illustration: Even Satan cannot oppose the work of God unless God so permits. Before Satan could attack Job, he first had to obtain the permission of God (Job 1,2).
Application: Many Christians find great comfort in knowing that God is in control of their every circumstance.
