How do we know God's providence in affliction is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms God's providential control over affliction, illustrating His wisdom and justice even in hardship.

Scriptural evidence underscores God's providence in affliction, as seen in Isaiah 45:7 where God states, 'I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil.' Such affirmations reveal that God sovereignly governs both good and calamity. Furthermore, Deuteronomy 32:39 emphasizes His control over life and death, reinforcing the belief that afflictions are not mere coincidences or fatalistic events but are ordered by His wise design. When we recognize this truth, we can trust that our hardships serve a purpose in God's overarching plan for good.
