How do we know God is in control of everything?

Answered in 13 sources

God's sovereignty is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Psalm 37:5 where believers are urged to commit their way to the Lord, trusting in His divine plan.

The sovereignty of God is foundational to the Christian faith, affecting how we perceive life's challenges. Psalm 37:5 instructs, 'Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.' This verse reassures believers that God is actively involved in guiding their paths according to His will. It speaks to the trustworthiness of God, emphasizing that He works 'after the counsel of His own will' (Ephesians 1:11). Even when circumstances seem contrary, believers must remember that God is orchestrating all events for their good and His glory. This understanding transforms our responses to trials and encourages steadfast faith.
