How do we know God is sovereign over our suffering?

Job's experience reveals the profound truth of God's sovereignty in our suffering. Job acknowledges that God has allowed his troubles, even stating explicitly that God delivered him over to the ungodly. This highlights the belief in sovereign grace, that God is in control of all circumstances, including the trials we face. We see this principle echoed in other parts of Scripture where suffering serves a purpose in God's divine plan. For example, Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him, showing His sovereign hand in every situation.
