How do we know that God is sovereign in difficult times?
Answered in 1 source
God’s sovereignty is affirmed in prayer, as seen when Jehoshaphat acknowledged God's control over all kingdoms in 2 Chronicles 20.
In his prayer during a challenging time, Jehoshaphat proclaimed God's sovereignty by stating, 'Art not thou God in heaven, and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen?' (2 Chronicles 20:6). This recognition is crucial for believers as it addresses the understanding of God's supreme authority and control over all circumstances, even the most distressing ones. Jehoshaphat’s plea exemplifies a faithful response to fear and uncertainty, affirming that God, who is sovereign, governs all events in life. His power reassures us that we are not alone in our battles, and we can depend on Him for salvation and strength.
