S4-28 UNDERSTANDING MY TRIALS

Because God never errors in judgment, nothing can happen to the elect that God has not ordained. It may sometimes seem that our heavenly Father punishes his children while the ungodly prosper and enjoy life. Yet, such a perspective is nearsighted. Asaph wrote: “As for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well-nigh slipped, for I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:2-3). Nevertheless, as “the called” according to His purpose, we strive for a superior future.
