6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:6-7).
The sovereignty of God is not separable from the power of God. God is powerful and so He is sovereign. God is sovereign and so He is powerful. We could easily and appropriately put the adjective absolutely in front of sovereign and powerful. Job in the passage above is proclaiming God’s absolute sovereignty and absolute power. Job understands that since there is a difference between the sovereignty and power of God and that of Man, there is also a distinction between the Creator and created. This distinction forms the basis of worship. God is worshiped because of who He is; the great I AM.
