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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that God is sovereign over all events, including tragedies.

In scripture, we see a consistent theme of God's sovereignty, where even evil events serve His divine purposes. For instance, God states in Isaiah 45:7, 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.' This highlights that while tragedy is a result of human sin and the fall, God is still in control and uses such events to accomplish His greater plan. The evil that befalls us does not escape His sovereign will, and we can trust that He will bring good out of our suffering.
Scripture References: Isaiah 45:7, Romans 8:28
