How do we know that God is in control during our trials?
Answered in 1 source
God's sovereignty assures us that He is in control during trials, as He has appointed our afflictions for a purpose.
Understanding God's sovereignty in our trials anchors us in faith. The Preacher highlights that nothing is out of order with our God; He controls all things according to His gracious purpose (1 Thessalonians 3:3). Even the afflictions we face are part of His divine appointment, meant to refine our faith and remind us of our need for Christ. In Romans 8:28, Paul reassures us that 'all things work together for good to them that love God,' affirming that God is not merely observing our struggles but actively orchestrating them for our spiritual benefit. This assurance encourages us to trust in His unfailing promises.
