God's sovereign rule over all creation

[tonychanyt]

Proverbs 16:

9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

God's plan can override a man's plan in the sense that God sovereignly rules over everything that he has created. Everything happens according to his sovereign plan.

Here are some more verses affirming this idea of God's sovereign plan over all creation:

Matthew 10:

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.

Proverbs 19:

21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Psalm 33:

11 The plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.

Isaiah 14:

24 The Lord of hosts has sworn: “As I have planned, so shall it be, and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.
