“…just as we must learn to obey God one choice at a time, we must also learn
to trust God one circumstance at a time. Trusting God is not a
matter of my feelings but of my will. I never feel like trusting God when adversity strikes, but I can
choose to do so even when I don’t feel like
it. The act of the will, though, must be based on belief, and
belief must be based on truth.”
(Trusting God, by Jerry Bridges, pg. 52.)
(I’m slowly making my way through this book. One person recently highly
recommended I read it; he described it as "a dissertation on the sovereignty of
God." I'm only a couple chapters into the book, and already I can tell that he’s right. If you ever
struggle with asking “why?” when it comes to those hard things in life, you need
to read this book.)
