How do we know that God is sovereign over suffering?

Job's suffering was not random but orchestrated by God for a greater purpose. In Job 1:12, we see God granting Satan permission to test Job, illustrating that while we experience suffering, God remains sovereign and has a purpose behind it. This aligns with the Biblical teaching that God uses trials to refine and strengthen our faith (1 Peter 1:6-7). By allowing Job to suffer, God not only proved Job's faithfulness but also revealed the depth of divine grace that sustains His people even in the darkest times.
