What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in trials?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all circumstances, including the trials believers face, and works all things for their good.
Scripture consistently affirms the sovereignty of God, especially in the context of life's trials. Romans 8:28 states that 'we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' This means that even when we face difficult times, like the disciples in Mark 6 during the storm, we can find comfort in knowing that God has a divine purpose and is providentially orchestrating events for our spiritual growth and His glory. The account of the disciples being sent into the storm illustrates that God may lead us into situations we do not understand, but He remains in control and sees our struggles.
