God Is in Control—Even Over Evil Leaders | Thomas Schreiner

In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner reflects on God’s sovereignty in the story of Pharaoh, showing how even the most powerful ruler in the world existed under God’s absolute authority.

Drawing from Exodus 9:16, Schreiner explains that God could have destroyed Pharaoh instantly—but instead chose to preserve him in order to display His power and make His name known throughout the earth.

This passage offers a deeply encouraging perspective: even when evil rulers rise and darkness seems to prevail, God is not absent. He is actively working out His redemptive purposes in history.

What appears chaotic to us is never outside the control of God.
