What does the Bible say about God's providence during trials?

Scripture affirms that all events, including trials like the current pandemic, occur under God's providence. In Ecclesiastes 9:1-2, the wise man Solomon reminds us that both the wise and the foolish face the same trials in life. However, the experience of these trials differs between the just and the wicked. God's people, known as the just, are not immune to suffering, but through these trials, their faith is strengthened, and they receive blessings. Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good to those who love God, emphasizing God's sovereign control over every circumstance.
