A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

My response to God’s ability – Corrie ten Boon
It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

Our Lives Are Full of Supposes – Hannah Whitall Smith
Our lives are full of supposes. Suppose this should happen, or suppose that should happen; what could we do; how could we bear it? But, if we are living in the high tower of the dwelling place of God, all these supposes will drop out of our lives. We shall be quiet from the fear of evil, for no threatenings of evil can penetrate into the high tower of God.
– Hannah Whitall Smith –
God’s Special Providence – William Perkins
The consideration of God’s special providence should teach you to think of the presence of God as all-seeing and all-knowing, to seek his help, and also to believe that you are helped in all things, and finally that there is no danger so terrible but he is able and willing to deliver you from it, when it is fit.
– William Perkins –
from The Art of Prophesying, 1592
