Holy Prophet King Solomon, traditional author of Proverbs
"To man are the preparations of the heart:
from the Lord is the answer of the tongue."
--Prv 16:1
The Lord holds sway over all: with Him is all power, and for this we call Him Pantokrator, All-Mighty. Heaven and earth and all their inhabitants are under His command, for "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein," and "He stretches forth the heavens like a tent," a tent which He can set up and take down at will. If He wills, He could wipe out man from the face of the earth, as in the time of Noah, yet instead He wills that we work out our salvation in fear and trembling in this world. Though He does not use His power in its most sweeping way, He still has all power over all created things, down to the smallest speck, and He watches over all and cares for all, as He even numbers each hair on our heads. Thus He has rule even over the answers of our tongues.
