Scripture affirms that God's plans are good, and He is sovereign over all events, including afflictions that lead us closer to Him.
God’s sovereignty assures us that everything that happens is according to His good plan. In Psalm 119:75, it is stated that God’s afflictions are meant to teach us His statutes and lead us toward a deeper understanding of His Word. Every trial serves a purpose in our spiritual growth and understanding of His goodness. Moreover, believers understand that God's character is immutably good, meaning even when life’s circumstances seem adverse, they ultimately work together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Trusting in God’s goodness requires faith that goes beyond our immediate understanding of events.
