Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
"Believers suffer in accord with the will of God, for he rules over everything that happens to them. As the sovereign Creator, God is also loving and faithful, therefore they should entrust their lives entirely to him, just as Jesus did when he suffered. Such trust manifests itself in doing what is good." esv study Bible
i love that the Gospel does not explain away suffering, but validates it and gives it purpose instead. yes this world is filled with it, yes God is still in control of the universe...otherwise there would be no purpose or comfort here or in eternity. i hope God will remind me of His faithfulness and goodness amidst suffering that is sure to come one day. did i mention that i also love the esv study Bible?
