How do we know that God is sovereign in our trials?

Answered in 4 sources

God's sovereignty is affirmed through Scripture, which shows that He controls all events and uses trials for His glory and our good.

God's sovereignty means that He has authority over all creation and that nothing happens outside of His perfect will. Romans 8:28 reassures us that 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.' This scripture also confirms that even in our trials, God is at work orchestrating events for our ultimate good and His glory. The disciples' experiences in Matthew—being challenged, corrected, and ultimately reassured by Jesus—demonstrate that He is actively engaged in guiding and leading His children through life's difficulties. This assurance allows believers to trust in His plans, knowing that He uses trials to refine and sanctify us.
