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

The sovereignty of God is foundational to Reformed theology, which asserts that God is in control of all events, including the lives of His people. This is illustrated in the story of Jonah where, despite Jonah's disobedience, God's plans to save the mariners and ultimately the Ninevites unfold according to His divine purpose. In Psalm 139, we see that even when we try to flee from God's presence, He remains sovereign over us. This comprehensive reign provides comfort, assuring believers that every detail in our lives serves a greater purpose in God's redemptive plan.
