How do we know God appoints our trials?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that trials are divinely appointed for believers, which is stated clearly in 1 Thessalonians 3:3.

Scripture assures us that the trials faced by believers are not a matter of bad luck but are appointed by God. In 1 Thessalonians 3:3, Paul writes that believers should not be shaken by their afflictions, for they were forewarned that they would experience tribulation. This aligns with the larger biblical narrative, where figures like Joseph and Paul faced trials as part of God’s sovereign plan (Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28). Understanding that every trial is appointed allows believers to trust in God’s goodness and purpose in their suffering.
