As well might a worm seek to resist the tread of an elephant;
as well might a babe step between the railroad tracks and attempt to push back the on-rushing train;
as well might a child seek to prevent the ocean from rolling as for a creature to try and resist the outworking of the purpose of the Lord God!
Ah, my reader, this is the first great lesson we have to learn:
that God is the Creator, and we are the creature;
that He is the Potter, and we are the clay!
The sovereignty of God may be defined as the exercise of His supremacy. Being infinitely elevated above the highest creature He is the Highest, Lord of Heaven and earth. Subject to none, influenced by none He is absolutely independent. God does as He pleases,
only as He pleases,
and always as He pleases.
None can thwart Him; none can hinder Him.

Daniel 4:35 ... And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Psalm 115:3 ... But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Psalm 135:5–6 ... For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.❤
