Luke 7:11-17
God’s sovereignty, in simple terms, means God is the ultimate ruler and is in complete control of everything. He is the source of all power, authority, and existence. Some say this doesn’t mean He’s dictating every single action, but rather that He has ultimate authority and purpose over all things, including history, nature, and human affairs.

God’s sovereign purpose is worked out in the lives of people who don’t even recognize it.
This affirmation from Muggeridge fits Luke 7:
For myself, as I approach my end, I find Jesus’ outrageous claim ever more captivating and meaningful. Quite often, waking up in the night as I do, and feeling myself to be half out of my body, that it is a mere chance whether I go back into it to live through another day, or fully disengage and make off; hovering between life and death…Jesus’ words ring triumphantly through the universe…yet in the limbo between living and dying, as the night clocks tick remorselessly on, and the black sky implacably shows not one single streak or scratch of gray, I hear those words: “I am the resurrection and the life,” and feel myself to be carried along on a great tide of joy and peace.
