How do we know that God is in control during hardships?
Answered in 1 source
We trust in God's control during hardships through Scripture, which assures us that He allows trials for our growth and His purpose (Romans 5:3-5).
God's control during our hardships can be understood through various biblical narratives and teachings. The Bible illustrates that trials serve a purpose, refining our faith and leading us to greater dependence on God. For instance, Paul writes in Romans 5:3-5 that tribulations produce perseverance, character, and hope. This process is not only beneficial for our spiritual growth but also ultimately leads us to the experience of God's love. By understanding that our afflictions are under the sovereignty of God, as seen in passages like Psalm 119:67, we can find peace knowing that He is orchestrating events for our good and His glory.
