How do we know God uses trials for our good?

The providence of God ensures that every trial we face has a redemptive purpose in our lives. In 1 Samuel 30, we see David facing a significant trial when he loses his family and his city. This difficulty causes him to seek the Lord for guidance. This pattern reflects God's intention: to direct our hearts back to Him in times of trouble. In the midst of these challenges, God's grace is evident as He strengthens our faith through His promises. As seen in Romans 5:3-5, tribulation produces patience, which leads to hope, underscoring that every trial is a part of God's loving design for our ultimate good.
