“On accepting adversity in our lives: Always it is initiated by an act of will on our part; we set ourselves to believe in the overruling goodness, providence, and sovereignty of God and refuse to turn aside no matter what may come, no matter how we may feel. I mistakenly thought I could not trust God unless I felt like trusting Him. Now I am learning that trusting God is first of all a matter of the will. I choose to trust in God, and my feelings eventually follow.” FeelsFirstsBelieveMayMatterFeelingsTurnsFeltAcceptingOur LivesGoodnessAdversityNo Matter WhatRefuseTrust In GodProvidenceSovereigntySovereignty Of GodTrusting Him Author:Margaret Clarkson
“The sovereignty of God is the one impregnable rock to which the suffering human heart must cling. The circumstances surrounding our lives are no accident: they may be the work of evil, but that evil is held firmly within the mighty hand of our sovereign God.” HumansHeartMayHandsSufferingEvilOur LivesRocksCircumstancesAccidentsSovereignHuman HeartSovereigntySovereignty Of God Author:Margaret Clarkson
