How do we know that God controls the times for healing and killing?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture reveals that God has authority over all times and seasons, including those of killing and healing, as expressed in Ecclesiastes 3.
Ecclesiastes 3 plainly states, 'To everything, there is a season' (Ecclesiastes 3:1), promoting the understanding that God is sovereign over all circumstances of life, including the times to kill and to heal. This sovereignty reassures us that God knows the exact timing for every event in our lives, utilizing even difficult times for His glory and our ultimate good. According to Romans 8:28, all things work together for good to those who love God. Hence, the acknowledgment of God's control in these times encourages believers to trust in His plan, recognizing that He uses both trials and blessings to refine and perfect our faith.
