How do we know God is in control during tough times?

In Psalm 93, we are reminded that though floods may lift their voices against us, the Lord on high is mightier than the waves of the sea. This illustrates that during tough times, our circumstances do not surpass God's power or ability to control them. When we face trials, we can find peace in the knowledge that God reigns over every situation. He has established His throne from everlasting, ensuring that all events unfold according to His divine purpose and plan, thus providing believers with both comfort and assurance in adversity.
