God’s sovereignty is affirmed in Scripture, assuring us that He controls all things, including our struggles and challenges (Romans 8:28).
The sovereignty of God over our struggles is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology. Romans 8:28 explicitly states that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, affirming that even in our struggles, God is in control and has a purpose. This perspective encourages believers to trust that trials and tribulations are under God’s sovereign hand. The story of Elisha in 2 Kings reminds us that while outward circumstances may appear chaotic, God’s sovereignty prevails and His protection surrounds His people. It is crucial for Christians to rest in the assurance that their lives are orchestrated by a wise and loving God who is actively at work in all situations.
