Answered in 1 source
Acknowledging God's goodness during trials is essential as it helps maintain faith and trust in His sovereign plan.
Hezekiah’s response to the prophecy of judgment—'good is the word of the Lord'—illustrates the importance of accepting God's goodness, whether in blessing or adversity. In the face of challenges, recognizing that God is always good, even in His judgments, helps believers align their hearts with His will. It fosters a posture of faith, trusting that God's plans, though sometimes difficult to understand, are ultimately for our good and His glory. Romans 8:28 reassures us that all things work together for good to those who love Him, emphasizing that our trials are part of His sovereign plan, drawing us closer to His character.
