How do we know that God is sovereign over all events?

The concept of God’s sovereignty is foundational to Reformed theology. In Genesis 42 and Psalms 105, we see how God manipulated events, including a famine, to position Joseph as a leader, ultimately directing his family back to him. This emphasizes that God uses all circumstances—good and bad—to accomplish His purposes. Romans 8:28 reinforces this by stating that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. This sovereign orchestration assures us that no detail in our lives is outside of His control, and that His purposes for His elect will always be fulfilled.
