Sovereignty of God in Suffering
Suffering is seen as a manifestation of God's sovereignty, not as a result of weakness, folly, or cruelty. God's sovereignty is viewed as constant and active, not a card played at certain times. This sovereignty implies that suffering is always meaningful, guided by God's wise, loving, and holy purposes for those who trust in His goodness. The same power, wisdom, and love that governs sorrows will eventually deliver believers in God's perfect timing. Therefore, the confidence in God's ability to save and bring relief from suffering stems from acknowledging His sovereignty over all aspects of life, including grief and compassion.
