How do we know God's power and purpose are always at work?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereign control over all circumstances demonstrates His power and purpose in fulfilling His promises.

The assurance of God’s sovereign power and purpose is seen throughout Scripture, particularly in how He orchestrated events to fulfill His plans for Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart, as discussed in Exodus, underscores that God is not merely reacting to circumstances but actively directing them according to His will. In Romans 9, Paul reminds us that God raised Pharaoh for the purpose of demonstrating His power and proclaiming His name throughout all the earth. This example reinforces the belief that, while we may face discouragement, God is continually working all things—good and bad—for the ultimate good of His elect and the glory of His name. Thus, every trial serves a divine purpose, shaped by God’s immutable will.
