In Job, chapter twelve, verse thirteen, we believe that God is wise and powerful and that His ways with us are the best and the surest means of attaining our highest good, as in chapter nine, verse four, chapter thirty-six, verse five, Isaiah forty, verses twenty-six, and twenty-eight, Daniel two, verse twenty, and Romans sixteen, verses twenty-five, and twenty-seven, accordingly. Believers must never think God has promised a trouble-free life, as in Psalms thirty-four, verse nineteen. God may send both joy and sorrow to detach our love from the things of this world and attach it to Himself.
God directs events in a committed believer’s life for personal sanctification and fulfillment of service in the kingdom of God. For example, Jacob experiences this in Genesis, chapters twenty-eight to thirty-five, and Joseph in Genesis thirty-seven, verse twenty-eight.
In this life, believers can never completely discern the ultimate purpose of everything that happens to them, nor will it always be clear how God is causing all things to work together for good, as in Ecclesiastes three, verse eleven, chapter seven, verse thirteen, and chapter eleven, verse five, and Romans eight, verses twenty-eight. When those times arrive, we cannot fully understand God’s method of dealing with us. We should commit ourselves to our heavenly Father, just as Christ did on the day of crucifixion, as in Matthew twenty-seven, verse forty-six, and Luke twenty-three, verse forty-six.
If life was easy in the way we desired it to be with no problems, how could believers come to believe? Even unbelievers have an uneasy time living. However, it might not appear that way because we see the financial security outside and do not know the internal insecurities they live through on the inside. Despite the hardship, believers will be victorious because of Jesus Christ. Can unbelievers say whatever they live or believe for is working out things in the end for their good?
