The fact that He is sovereign is what I would term a NECESSARY logical conclusion that explains existence of other beings and the objective reality of good and evil.
You are correct that to begin with the presupposition of God's sovereignty is the correct starting place not only for doctrine but for reasoning itself.

I agree that God is rational but by whose measure. Certainly we should measure all rationality and all logic by the Sovereign God who is the source of all things. Too often we invert the process and try to define God Almighty by flawed human rationale and logic.
