How do we know God is in control of every situation?
Answered in 1 source
God's complete control over all situations is affirmed by Scripture, which teaches that He governs everything according to the counsel of His will.
Believers can confidently affirm God's control over every situation due to the testimony of Scripture. It declares that God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). The consistent message throughout Scripture is that no event occurs outside of His sovereign decree, whether that be good or evil. The narrative of David and Shimei illustrates that even insults and curses, when viewed through the lens of faith, serve God's divine plan and ultimately contribute to the advancement of His kingdom. God's governing and ordering of events are not merely passive but are actively engaged in every moment of history according to His holy ends.
