• Conclusion
  When you encounter trials don’t think that it’s a stingy God, who doesn’t have your best interests in mind, who is behind that trial. God’s purposes are always good. James says, “Every good gift in this life comes from above, it comes from God.” Every single good that we experience comes from Him, and that controls how we look at our trials and our sufferings. When God calls us to be perfected through suffering in trials, my friends, He is only calling us to go the way of His only begotten Son. Hebrews 5:8 says, “He learned obedience through that which He suffered.” And so, if we are to navigate trials lightly, we must doggedly cling to two truths: the goodness of God and the purpose of God in our trials, because, affliction is the medicine of grace in the hands of God.
