Our first priority in times of adversity is to honor and
glorify God by trusting Him. We tend to make our first priority the gaining of
relief from our feelings of heartache or disappointment or frustration. This is
a natural desire, and God has promised to give us grace sufficient for our
trials and peace for our anxieties, so God’s honor is to take precedence over
our feelings. We honor God by choosing to trust Him when we don’t understand
what He is doing or why He has allowed some adverse circumstance to occur. As
we seek God’s glory, we may be sure that He has purposed our good and that He
will not be frustrated in fulfilling that purpose.—Jerry Bridges
