How do we know God's sovereignty is at work in difficult times?

Answered in 1 source

The sovereignty of God is demonstrated when He allows His people to face challenges, as seen in the exiles in Babylon, to fulfill His greater purposes.

God’s sovereignty is displayed through the narrative of Daniel and his friends as they are taken into Babylonian captivity. This was not merely the result of human actions or the might of Babylon but was orchestrated by God as a consequence of Judah's disobedience and as a means of demonstrating His power and sovereignty over all nations. The text reveals that God gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into Nebuchadnezzar's hand (Daniel 1:2), illustrating that even in their suffering, God's control was evident. This serves as a reminder that God's overarching plan often includes trials that lead to His glory and the good of His people, culminating in a deeper understanding of His providence.
