No one can impose his will upon god, whereas god can impose his will on anyone, thus it is god's will that is sovereign. If god says that eating cheesecake on Thursday is forbidden, he has the muscle to back that command with action if he needs to. Whereas if I warn god against creating any new planets on Sunday afternoon, he can just laugh it off and dare me to stop him as he ramps up production of another solar system (and makes the universe fast-forward to Sunday afternoon just to be a bit of a brat about it).
Is that the sort of thing you are hinting at here?
Yes pretty close, I would not call it might makes right, I would call it more the creator vs. creature distinction. The Apostle Paul speaks of this at length in the 9th Chapter of his letter to the Church in Rome with his potter and clay analogy. People may not like what God does but ultimately it proves nothing in regards to God’s character.
