How do we know that God has a purpose in our struggles?

The story of Joseph shows that God can use even our trials for a greater purpose, reflecting His sovereignty over all circumstances.
Joseph's journey from being sold into slavery to becoming a ruler in Egypt highlights God's providence at work, even amidst suffering and trials. Each event in Joseph's life, from his betrayal by his brothers to his unjust imprisonment, was used by God to position him for a divine purpose—to provide for the very family that had wronged him during a time of famine. This narrative reminds us that our tribulations are not without purpose; God is intricately involved in our lives, orchestrating events according to His divine plan. Romans 8:28 echoes this truth, assuring us that God works all things together for good to those who love Him.
