4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous (Psalm 112:4).
This verse is a prophecy concerning the Messiah. I am including it as part of the discussion on God’s sovereignty because prophecy and specifically fulfilled prophecy proves that God is sovereign. Psalm 112 was written nearly 1000 years before Christ. God knows the beginning from the end and more than that; He controls the whole process including time and timing. The ability of God to exercise control over future events is key. It is not that God simply knows what will occur; it is that He actually makes it happen. This is the difference between sovereignty and random chance. There is nothing about our sovereign God that is random.
