What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in difficult times?

In 2 Chronicles 20, we see King Jehoshaphat facing an overwhelming threat. His response was to seek the Lord earnestly, acknowledging his own inability to confront the enemy: 'we have no might against this great company.' The prophet Jehaziel relayed God's assurance that 'the battle is not yours, but God's' (2 Chronicles 20:15), emphasizing that God is sovereign over the affairs of humanity. This sovereignty means that God not only governs the universe, but He also orchestrates events according to His divine will, ensuring that His purposes are ultimately fulfilled, even in our hardships. God's control brings peace and rest to believers, for they can trust that every situation is under His divine orchestration.
