Who is regulating affairs on this earth today-God, or the Devil? That's the question Arthur W. Pink asks in this introduction to his study of the sovereignty of God. The sum and substance of his answer to this provocative question is expressed in these words: "...though the world is panic-stricken, the word to the believer is, 'Fear not!' 'All things' are subject to His [God's] immediate control: 'all things' are moving in accord with His eternal purpose, and therefore, 'all things' are working together for good to them that love God, to them who are called accord- ing to His purpose."
