How do we know that God ordains all things, including calamities?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that all things, including calamities, are ordained by God in His sovereign plan.

Throughout Scripture, God's absolute sovereignty is repeatedly affirmed, including over disasters and calamities. For instance, Lamentations 3:38 states, 'Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?' This underscores the belief that nothing occurs by chance, but rather everything is decreed by God, who remains perfectly holy and blameless even amid suffering. His divine governance serves a just and righteous purpose.
Scripture References: Lamentations 3:38, Isaiah 45:7
