Why should we trust in God's sovereignty even when evil seems to prevail?

Conrad Mbewe reminds us that God is not anxious or uncertain about the events unfolding in our world. Despite the apparent triumph of evil and the persecution of Christians, everything is still under His divine control. God remains seated on His throne, orchestrating His plans with perfect wisdom and authority. The challenges faced by the church, including martyrdom and persecution, do not signify a defeat of God's purposes. Instead, they are part of the unfolding of His sovereign plan.

Drawing from the story of Habakkuk, Mbewe illustrates that God is actively working behind the scenes, even when His ways seem perplexing to us. Just as God assured Habakkuk that He would deal with Judah's corruption by using the Babylonians, He also promised to bring justice to Babylon. In times of rampant atheism and moral decay, believers are encouraged not to despair but to trust in God's ultimate vindication of truth. Our response should be one of worship and trust, knowing that God is in control and will accomplish His purposes in His timing.

Habakkuk 2:20 (NKJV): "But the Lord is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him."
