The Bible illustrates God's control over all events through passages like Ecclesiastes 3:1, which states there is a time for every purpose under heaven.
In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it declares, 'To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.' This reinforces the belief that God has appointed both the times and the events that occur within those times. Solomon's reflections in this book show that every action, from birth to death, fits within God's sovereign plan. Furthermore, Isaiah 46:9-10 confirms God's foreknowledge and sovereignty, stating that He has purposed things and will accomplish them. Thus, we interpret the unfolding of events in our lives as part of God's intricate and sovereign design.
