God’s sovereignty is the attribute by which he rules over all creation. To be sovereign, God must be all-knowing, all-powerful, and absolutely free. A. W. Tozer explains the reasons for this in The Knowledge of the Holy.

Refuge: God’s Enduring Word
Constant change is the only thing that doesn’t change! Well, there is one other thing.
Refuge: Steadfast Trust
Satan comes with the “What if?” questions. “What if the surgery is not successful?” “What if the treatment doesn’t work?” “What if the cancer returns?” “What if he leaves?” “What if the counseling doesn’t help?” “What if she never comes back?” “What if my child walks away from God?” Satan knows that questions fill our minds and hearts with chaos.
Refuge: A Strong Fortress
Walls and towers were important parts of a biblical city’s protection. Many cities built high towers at the corners of their walls. These towers were hollow, with a staircase reaching to the top. Each served as a watchtower to spot invading armies and provide the defensive upper hand. The height placed archers at a distinct advantage as the enemy approached.
Refuge: Strong Confidence
The fear of the Lord is not a cowering terror or dread. It is the honor and respect of the heavenly Father demonstrated by doing what he says. A person’s lip service does not equal an awe of God. It’s one’s obedience, even when no one else is looking, that confirms healthy fear.
Refuge: The Healer
God stands by the brokenhearted, but he doesn’t just stand by. He is not a passive onlooker or a well-wisher. He doesn’t need to go for help. He comes to us in our brokenness as the Divine Doctor, the Sovereign Surgeon, and the Holy Healer. He brings exactly what we need at the precise moment we need it—not a moment too soon, not a second too late.
