"When things go wrong" By whose definition?

The question presupposes that man (not God) determines right from wrong. Certainly God is in control of our circumstances...and likewise, it is God...not man who gets to define it. We say it is wrong based on our own puny ideas of right and wrong.

The more we apprehend the Sovereignty of God, the less perplexed we shall be by the calamities of man.
