       God works out good things. To move away from God is to quit and give up, and we must never do that. Quitting will cause us to forfeit and lose our future blessings, and what we could have learned from our trial. If we don’t learn, we cannot progress. As you wait on God for your deliverance, take comfort in him. Again, Paul called God the “God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4, ESV). It’s sad but true, but we do learn more during difficult times in our lives versus the easier times. It’s usually the case that if trouble doesn’t come, if the heat doesn’t get turned up, we don’t grow, and we don’t become more like Jesus. But we can count on God to bring goodness out in us through our situation. God rewards those who earnestly seek him out. His desire is to make things better for us.
