We need to settle in our hearts that what we face in life is not a random occurrence without divine purpose or design. The psalmist asserted, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the lord" (psalm 37:23).
The Apostle paul pointed out that God allows affliction to come upon us only for good, writing, "And we know that all things work together for good, writing, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to this purpose for our trial will make it easier to bear.
When we choose to trust in the overruling goodness, Providence, and sovereignty of God,He will not fail us.

The Book of Job examines the problem of human suffering. Job,who was the instrument in the divine object lesson, was a man of impeccable integrity. God himself said of Job, "There is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil" (Job 1:8 ).
Yet God permitted this upright man to be tested in an extreme way: satan was allowed to take Job's possession, his family and finally his health. However, the enemy could not touch Job's most valuable asset- his faith and trust in God. From our vantage point thousands of years later, what positive effects resulted from Job's time of affliction?
For Reflection:

Job is an example to us of how one who is surrendered to God can accept whatever God allows to come his way, even though he sees no good reason for it. The beautiful verses of encouragement found in the Book of Job have influenced believers for thousands of years. As Christians, we do not live for ourselves but for God (Romans 14:8), and our reaction to trials that come our way will undoubtedly impact the lives of others.

In trials, it is best to trust in the sovereignty of our Lord. With Him we can do everything. I CAN DO IT ALL IN CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS ME. Without it we are easy to fall. He sustains us, shelters us, comforts us, encourages us, helps us, protects us. With Him we are safe despite the trials.

Life is not always rosy the way we expected it to be. The test of our faith is best examine and rated during our trying times. we need to surrender all to God and have confidence in Him that he is god over all things that might be happening to us.
