I was searching for verses about God’s sovereignty for a devotional book I am writing, and this passage leapt out at me.

He is sovereign over all, even the Devil. From Luke 4:6 GEN

And the devil said unto him, All this (a) power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is (b) delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

(a) By this word "power" are meant the kingdoms themselves which have the power: and so this is said using the figure of speech metonymy.

(b) This is surely so, for he is prince of the world, but not absolutely, and is the sovereign of it only by permission and request, and therefore he does not truly say that he can give it to whom he will.

Unless, of course, the devil lied about all of that.

Somehow I get the idea that our God could figure that out.

In fact, he did. He took what was behind Door No. 2.
