“Do you not realize that all the events of your life for the past five or ten years were ordered by God for your education? If you murmured and complained, you have grievously failed to recognize His hand. If you thought you were just unfortunate and unlucky, you are ignorant of the Holy Spirit’s discipline. Remember that whatever happens to us is measured by the hand of God for our supreme good. Although we might not choose it, God knows what is best for us. Where would we be today if God had not disciplined us through the ordering of our circumstances? It is this very thing, which keeps us pure and keeps us walking in His pathway. How foolish are those who have murmurings on their tongues and fires of contention and resentment smoldering in their hearts at the very predicaments that the Holy Spirit has measured to them for their good” (The Release Of The Spirit, pg. 67-68, Watchman Nee).For our supreme good. Think about that! Again, I cannot reiterate enough how God allows storms to touch us in order to grow us because He is more concerned about the roots of our convictions and the resilience of our character than the comfort of our circumstances. He is always at work for our good and His glory. Nothing has been accidental or coincidental. In fact, everything that has transpired in our lives has been providential. Think of it! God  has ordered your entire life for your maximum benefit; but will you accept it, which is the first step in seeing it?Personally, I want to see it His way, always. I want to accept His will regardless of how I may feel. I want to be educated by these experiences so that I can better know His presence. I want to choose wholeheartedly the circumstances that God chooses for me to make my heart whole. He knows me better than I know me. He can be trusted above all. For our supreme good. That's a promise, for the cross is the evidence.
