God knows everything and He is always in CONTROL 🙏🏽

God's sovereignty means NOBODY can twist His arms to change His actions or decisions. He will do as He pleases.

As It Is Written! KJV - Romans 11 : 33 “O The Depth of The Riches Both of The Wisdom and Knowledge of GOD! How Unsearchable Are HIS Judgments, and HIS Ways Past Finding Out!”

God's sovereignty:

Imagine a person who has been struggling to find a job for months. They apply for countless positions, go to numerous interviews, but nothing seems to work out. Then, one day, they receive an unexpected job offer that not only aligns with their interests and skills, but also provides them with better compensation and benefits than any of the other positions they applied for.

In this situation, the person may see God's sovereignty at play—a higher power guiding them towards the opportunity that was ultimately best for them, even though they couldn't see it at the time. This example illustrates how God's sovereignty can be seen in the seemingly random events of our lives, showing us that there is a greater plan and purpose beyond our immediate understanding.

The ant illustrations is very good as far as it goes. It is hard for us to imagine endearing ourselves to ants like God has made every effort to endear Himself to us. How hard He has worked and how high the price He paid. Praise be to His glorious Name.

Whatever happens in our lives, God allows it. Good or bad.

OUR FATHER....OUR KING OF LORD OF LORDS, IS SOVEREIGN AND DOES NOT OWE MAN, HIS "CREATION" ANY EXPLANATION. HE IS A DIVINE, MAJESTIC, FATHER, KING AND CREATOR OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. HE IS THE ANCIENT OF GREAT I EXISTING ONE, WHO LOVES HIS CHILDREN DEARLY🥰. WHO WRAPPED HIMSELF IN FLESH AND SACRIFICED THE WORD (JESUS) AND FILLED HIS CHILDREN WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE ARE ALL HIS CREATION, HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT ALL OF HIS CHILDREN AND THEREFORE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND NOR APPRECUATE AND HONOR HIS DIVINE AND HOLY SOVEREIGNTY👑✝️🕊️🙏🏾👑

We know from Scripture that God ordains (or decrees) all things. From the most insignificant happenings, like the whereabouts of a sparrow, or the number of hairs on your scalp (Matthew 10: 29-31 ESV ) to the ruling of empires (Proverbs 21:1 ESV ) and even the outcome of dice (Proverbs 16:33 ESV .)15
