How do we know God is in control during a storm?

The account in Matthew 8 illustrates God's complete control over creation, as seen when Jesus calmed the storm. His disciples were fearful, questioning why He was asleep, but His rebuke of the winds and the sea led them to marvel at His authority. This power reassures us that God is in control, not just over natural elements but over our lives and circumstances, affirming that nothing escapes His sovereignty. Psalm 107 presents a complementary view, showing that in times of distress, the Lord hears and responds, calming both physical and spiritual storms.
