How do we know that God's sovereignty includes our trials?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty encompasses our trials, as He ordains the circumstances we face, demonstrating His ultimate control and purposes (Matthew 14:22-24).
In Matthew 14:22-24, Jesus sends His disciples into a storm, illustrating God's sovereign control over our circumstances. Believers must understand that trials and tribulations are part of God's ordained plan. He sees us toiling against the storms of life and uses those very challenges to shape our faith and reliance on Him. The assurance that He is aware and present in our struggles serves to comfort believers amid hardships. His sovereignty ensures that no trial is without purpose; rather, they refine our faith and deepen our dependence on His grace. Therefore, acknowledging God's sovereignty encourages believers to face trials with hope and confidence.
