God is sovereign over all

God is sovereign over all things in our life.  He is sovereign over jobs, life, family situations, and elections.  Sometimes we do not think God is in control over certain things in life.  We have to remind ourselves that God is still in control.  God can and will move we just have to trust in his timing in our life.
In Ephesians 1, Paul talks about how God's purpose is sovereign over all things. Ephesians 1:11 says, we also having obtained an inheritance according to his purpose who predestined according to his purpose who works all things after the counsel of his will."   James 4:12 talks about how the Lord wills we will do this or that, when describing God's sovereignty when making plans.  Psalm 93:1 talks about how God is sovereign in his majesty over all the heavens and earth.  Revelation 4:11 discusses God's sovereign over creation.
In another aspect, God is sovereign over his power.  In Psalm 115:3, it says "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases."  In Daniel 4:35,  Daniel talks about how God does whatever he wills.   Also, God is sovereign over all the seas and earth in his power.  Psalm 135:6 says, "Whatever the Lord pleases he does, in Heaven and Earth, in the seas and the deeps."
I have to remind myself God is sovereign over everything at times.  Even in this crazy election season, God is sovereign.  God is still in control and working in our life.
