The sovereignty of God assures us that all events, including our suffering, occur according to His divine purpose.
God's sovereignty is a fundamental aspect of Reformed theology, affirming that nothing happens outside of God's command and will. As stated in Isaiah 46:10, God declares the end from the beginning, ensuring that His purposes prevail. This means that even when we face suffering, it is orchestrated by God's perfect wisdom for our good. It's essential to recognize that our complaints often arise from a lack of understanding of God's overarching plan. Instead of despairing, we are called to trust that God is using every circumstance for His glory and our ultimate benefit.
