How do we know that God leads His children into trials?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible indicates that God leads His children into trials as part of His divine plan, even when they are obeying Him (Exodus 17:1).
In Exodus 17:1, we see that the Israelites journeyed according to the commandment of the Lord yet found themselves in a situation where there was no water. This demonstrates that trials can occur even when we are obeying God. It is essential for believers to understand that hardship is not always a sign of divine punishment or disfavor; rather, it often serves God's purpose in deepening our faith and dependence on Him. Trials can lead believers to recognize their need for grace and strength that only God can provide, affirming that He is sovereign over all circumstances, guiding His children through every difficulty.
