How do we know God's plans are good even in suffering?

Answered in 1 source

God's goodness is evidenced through the ultimate purposes behind our suffering, as seen in Joseph's life where his trials led to a greater plan.

In Joseph’s trials, we see a profound truth: God often uses suffering to bring about His overarching plan. Joseph himself acknowledged this when he told his brothers, 'You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good' (Genesis 50:20). This showcases the classic sovereign grace perspective that even when circumstances appear dire, God is at work for the good of those who love Him. The refining process that Joseph underwent was a necessary part of his preparation, enabling him to lead in Egypt effectively during the famine.
