How do we know God's sovereignty in trials?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in trials is evident through His ability to uphold the faithful while punishing the wicked, as illustrated in David's reflections in Psalm 11.

In Psalm 11, David acknowledges God's sovereignty by stating that 'the Lord is in His holy temple' and 'the Lord's throne is in heaven.' This speaks to God's authority and control over every situation, including afflictions faced by His people. Understanding God's sovereignty reassures believers that trials serve a purpose in refining faith, drawing us closer to Him and affirming His plans for our lives. Moreover, the differential treatment of the righteous and the wicked underscores God’s sovereign justice, providing comfort in the face of adversity.
