How does God's sovereignty affect how we handle wrongs done to us?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty reassures us that He is in control, allowing us to respond with grace rather than seeking revenge.
Understanding God's sovereignty fundamentally changes how we respond to wrongs done to us. Proverbs 16:33 teaches that even seemingly random events are under God's control. Consequently, believers are called not to retaliate but to seek to overcome evil with good, as Paul instructs in Romans 12:21. Instead of allowing the hurts we experience to lead us into bitterness or revenge, we can choose to demonstrate grace and kindness, reflecting Christ's love even to our adversaries. This response not only honors God but serves as a powerful witness of His grace at work in our lives. Trust in God's sovereignty assures us that He is ultimately responsible for justice and reconciliation.
