When chaos reigns, trusting in God's sovereignty means recognizing that He is still in control, even when things seem to be spiraling out of control. This means acknowledging that God's governance includes both good and evil, but that evil is always bounded by God's goodness. It's a mystery that we may not fully understand, but we can trust that God has a purpose in allowing evil to exist. In fact, our trust in God's sovereignty is often tested when we face difficult circumstances, and it's in those moments that we must remember that God is still in control. We can take comfort in the fact that God is not only sovereign, but also the sovereign, and that He is continually using His power to guard His people.
Trusting in God's sovereignty when chaos reigns also means recognizing that we can't find shelter from the storm of calamity by turning to human solutions or promises of peace and prosperity. Instead, we must turn to the living God, who is the Creator of the universe and the one who can provide us with a sanctuary from the overwhelming forces of evil. When we put our trust in God, we can stand secure, even in the midst of chaos. This is not to say that we won't face challenges or difficulties, but we can face them with confidence, knowing that God is in control. We can also accept the mystery that God allows chaotic energy to exist within the structured cosmos, and trust that He is still in control, even when things seem to be falling apart.
Ultimately, trusting in God's sovereignty when chaos reigns means recognizing that God is not only our Creator, but also our Savior. We can trust that He has a plan to bring good out of evil, and that He is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). This means that even in the midst of chaos, we can find hope and peace, knowing that God is in control. We can pray with confidence, knowing that God hears our prayers and is working to bring us through the storm. As we pray, we can say with Jesus, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you" (Mark 14:36), and trust that God will bring us through the chaos into a place of peace and security.
