When it comes to suffering we always ask - did God cause or allow this to happen? Or is this even the right question to be asking? How much control does God have? Why would he allow bad things to happen - especially to His children.
When Job exclaims that God Himself took everything from him, the writer of Job says that Job did not say anything wrong about God. When Jesus hangs on the cross, we find it ordained by God - He hung Himself on the cross. When we get to Smyrna in Revelation, God tells them how long they will suffer - He is controlling the duration. And when the saints cry out to Him to avenge their suffering in Revelation 6 His answer is quite startling - Be patient because more Christians must die.
Trusting in a good God-
