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

In understanding God's sovereignty, it's essential to recognize that all suffering is under His divine control. The text indicates that God explicitly chooses to afflict individuals according to His divine wisdom and purpose. This is evidenced in the story of Moses, who doubted his ability due to his speech impediment, yet was reminded by God that He is the one who creates the mouth and dictates its capacity. As seen in Romans 8:28, this principle extends to all believers: 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.' By trusting in God's enduring nature, we find assurance that He uses every trial for a greater purpose, whether we understand that purpose or not.
