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

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all things, including the trials we face, as stated in Romans 8:28.

According to Scripture, God rules over all creation, and His sovereignty extends to the circumstances of our lives, including the trials we endure. Romans 8:28 affirms that 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.' This means that even in our struggles, God is working for our ultimate good. The story of Job exemplifies this divine sovereignty; his trials were permitted by God for a purpose, and through them, he bore witness to God's faithfulness. Trials help us to recognize our need for God and to turn to Him in faith and dependence.
