Why is God's sovereignty important when we are hurt?

Understanding God’s sovereignty is crucial for a believer, especially when faced with hurt from others. Romans 8:28-30 reminds us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. This profound truth allows us to trust that our experiences, including pain inflicted by friends, are under God’s control and serve a purpose. It provides comfort knowing that, although we may not see how these experiences can bring about good, God has a divine plan that transcends our understanding. His rod and staff are meant to guide us through these valleys of hurt, offering comfort and assurance of His presence.
