How do we know that God is in control of all situations?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is evidenced in Scripture, demonstrating His control over every circumstance, as seen in Acts 23 with Paul's rescue.

God's sovereignty assures us that He governs all aspects of life, which is evident in the events of Acts 23. The conspiracy against Paul could not succeed because God had a purpose for him to testify in Rome. Each character in this story, from Paul's nephew to the Roman centurion, played a role in fulfilling God's plan. This narrative illustrates that God's providence is not just a passive oversight, but an active orchestration of events for the good of His people. Isaiah 46:9-10 reminds us that God declares the end from the beginning, affirming His omniscience and authority over all situations. Thus, we are encouraged to trust in His sovereign will, knowing that nothing surprises Him.
