How do we know that God is in control during our suffering?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is affirmed in Scripture, illustrating that nothing happens outside His control, even in suffering.

The story of Job emphasizes that even when calamity strikes, it is under God's sovereign control. In Job 1, we see that God permits Satan to test Job, demonstrating that even the enemy operates within God's authority. God does not merely allow suffering; He uses it for His purposes and to draw His children closer to Him. Understanding God's sovereignty helps believers find comfort amidst trials, knowing that God orchestrates all events for His glory and our good.
