Sovereign in Suffering (I Samuel 4:1-11)

Why has God brought suffering,
And beaten us in our distress?
Is this how He is punishing,
Vindictive in capriciousness?

He humbles those opposed to Him:
The posers and the hypocrites,
Then are you worshiping your sin,
And therefore are not truly His?

But God always expands His grace,
And shows Himself to everyone,
And though we do not see His ways,
He’s turning rebels into sons.

He calls His people to repent,
And therefore sends calamity,
That we may quickly turn to Him,
He shocks us out of apathy.
