God is the supreme authority. He is not subject to any power or law which could be conceived as superior to or other than Himself. Sovereign refers to a king who has authority over a certain land or group of people. God's sovereignty is over all the earth and all creation, as He created all things.
If God is in control man has no right to take matters into his own hand. Even if he does, God knew ahead of time he was going to do it. Though man may question God's authority and even His existence when things are going bad, God is still in control, knows what will take place, and is bringing glory to Himself.
The verses are in Isaiah 45:9,the story of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:28-37 and Romans 9:20-21.
The sovereignty of God means that God can do any thing He wants to do it, any time He wants to do it, any way He wants to do it, for any purpose He wants to accomplish. Psalm 115:1-3
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. - Romans 11:36(KJV)
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. - Romans 11:36(ESV)
