25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens (1 Chronicles 16:25-26).
God is sovereign because He is the Creator. As the Creator, He should be praised and feared. It may seem counter-intuitive, but when we fear God, we actually praise Him. This is true because the fear of the Lord allows us to understand the relationship between the Creator and the created. That relationship is one in which God is totally sovereign. This sovereignty should extend into our daily lives and should be evident in how we act.
