As
Christians, we ought to give thanks to God because we recognize that HE is
always in control of all circumstances surrounding our lives. As Proverbs 16:9
reminds us, "We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our
steps."
God is sovereign, which means that God is able to do what He pleases with whomever He chooses whenever He wishes. The prophet Jeremiah said, "I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course" (Jeremiah 10:23). And we read in Proverbs 20:24, "The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" That is the sovereignty of God.
But what about when bad things happen? Is God still in control? Yes. And the Bible tells us that despite the bad things that happen, which many times are inexplicable, God can work all things together for good to those that love Him (see Romans 8:28). As the psalmist wrote, "Everything serves His plans" Psalms119:91. Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
