How do we know that God is sovereign during difficult times?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is affirmed through His control over all events, ensuring that nothing occurs by chance, as highlighted in the biblical account of Jeremiah’s prophecies.

The sovereignty of God asserts that He governs all events according to His will, as seen throughout the Scriptures. In the context of Jacob's trouble, we see God orchestrating even the events of captivity and suffering as part of His divine plan, indicating that such trials are not without purpose. As illustrated in Jeremiah's prophecies, God foretold the suffering of His people but simultaneously promised their ultimate deliverance. The declaration that 'none can stay His hand or say to Him, What doest Thou?' reinforces the idea that God is actively involved in the affairs of humanity, both in judgment and in grace, guiding His people through tribulations towards redemption.
