How do we know God is in control during suffering?

In Romans 8:28, we are assured that 'all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.' This promise encompasses both the blessings we receive and the hardships we endure. Job's story illustrates that even in suffering, God is intricately involved, shaping our character and revealing His glory. Our understanding of God's providence informs us that suffering is not outside of His control; rather, it is part of His divine orchestration to accomplish His purposes in our lives. Even though we might not see the immediate good in our suffering, we can trust that God, who is omniscient and benevolent, has a reason that is ultimately for our benefit and His glory.
