What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty over disasters?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all disasters, governing them according to His perfect will.

Scripture clearly shows that nothing happens outside the sovereign decree of God, including natural disasters and calamities. For example, Isaiah 45:7 states, 'I form the light and create darkness. I bring prosperity and create disaster.' This emphasizes that even in disasters, God's sovereignty is at work, executing His purposes in justice, wisdom, and righteousness. Ultimately, these events call humanity to repentance and serve His overarching plan.
Scripture References: Isaiah 45:7-8, Revelation 19:6-7
