Sovereignty Defined

Sovereignty:
Ultimate authority, free from outside authority; the dominion of a monarch.
Sovereignty carries with it the idea of rule, of one who makes laws without external guidance, pressure or control. A true monarch has absolute authority in their kingdom. A sovereign nation is one independent of other nations that gets to make its own laws free of coercion. A sovereign citizen is a citizen who is not owned or controlled by any government authority, but is instead served and protected by the government they instituted for that purpose.
Sovereignty does not mean absolute meticulous control and never has. A sovereign monarch makes the laws, but their subjects still have the capacity to break them. A sovereign nation may make its on rules and even change them, but the people can disobey them. Even a sovereign citizen who is free to choose a different path.
To define sovereignty as absolute meticulous control is to redefine the word altogether to mean something it has never meant.
Is God our Sovereign? Yes. He made all the laws as is His right as Creator. Can He enforce those laws, condemn those who violate those laws? Certainly.
Does this mean God meticulously controls every quark of matter and energy every second? No. God is more powerful than that. He Created the universe with physical laws (we call these the laws of Physics) and these laws govern how matter and energy work without need for God to move each particle at all times. This is part of God's Providence. Setting things in order miraculously at the beginning to work naturally ever after.
Does this mean God meticulously controls even the desires of man as well as our every action every moment of our existence? No. God is more powerful than that. Not only did He create man according to physical, chemical, and biological laws to govern our physical bodies, but with a spiritual self that is a bearer of His image (Genesis 1:26-27). This means we have the same capacity as God to choose between a choice and its alternative at any given moment. God also gave us moral laws to show us how we ought to choose without forcing us to desire a given path over another (Genesis 4:7). This too is God's Providence.
The reason God presents Himself to us as Father (e.g. Matt 5:48), among other things, is that the relationship of father to child is a physical teaching tool to help us understand our relationship to Him. A father is sovereign over his household. His role is to provide shelter, sustenance, protection, and rules to fascilitate those things as well as guide his children into adulthood. At no time does a father meticulously and absolutely control the actions, thoughts, and desires of his children. He guides and nurtures, cheers in their triumphs and is saddened by their defeats. The same is true of our Father in Heaven.
Could God take absolute meticulous control of every particle, thought, and desire as some claim? Yes. In terms of ability, God is certainly powerful enough to do so. But in so doing, He would reject His own loving nature. The terms puppet or robot are often used, but those are insufficient as those are just things. We are more than just things.
We are image bearers of our Father.
In Truth and Love.
