How do we know that God strengthens us in our trials?

Job highlights the truth that God does not use His power against the righteous but instead offers strength in their weaknesses. In Job 23:6, Job asserts that rather than being condemned, God puts strength in him, mirroring Paul's experience with his thorn in the flesh where God’s grace proved sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). This principle is foundational to our faith; God’s empowerment is not just physical but also spiritual, ensuring that believers can endure and emerge purified from their trials, akin to gold refined in fire (1 Peter 1:7).
