How do we know God is in control during times of trouble?

In the sermon, it is emphasized that despite the turmoil in the world, such as wars, commotions, and natural disasters, God remains sovereign and in control. Jesus told His followers not to be terrified by these events, as they are part of His divine plan. Scriptures such as Isaiah 2 remind us that the day of the Lord approaches, where the pride of man will be humbled, and God's glory will be revealed. Believers are assured that no matter the overwhelming circumstances, God’s purpose will ultimately prevail, and His people are safe in His hands.
