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

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is affirmed in scripture, underscoring that He controls all events, including the trials faced by believers, as seen in Revelation 13.

God's sovereignty is a cornerstone of Reformed theology, teaching that He governs all aspects of creation, including the trials and tribulations faced by His people in an anti-Christian world. In Revelation 13, we see that the beast given authority to make war with the saints operates under God's sovereign decree. This highlights that even adverse situations, where it appears believers are overrun or defeated, are ultimately designed by God to fulfill His purposes. The assurance of God's control provides comfort and strengthens believers' faith, knowing that their struggles are not meaningless but are under the governance of a just and sovereign God who has a divine plan in place.
