How do we know that God's plans are good?

The assurance of God’s good plans is found throughout Scripture, particularly in Romans 8:28, which states that all things work together for good to those who love Him. In the context of Daniel 8, we see that even devastating events serve a purpose in God’s sovereign will. History unfolds as a means to reveal God's ultimate good for His people, ensuring that every trial and tribulation can lead to a greater glory that He has predestined for them. His sovereignty means that nothing is wasted in His plan.
