I need constantly to remind myself that “all things are of God.” Let me not preach sovereignty and then complain of my lot in life. Let me not talk of divine purpose and then spend my days murmuring about my trials and troubles. It is totally inconsistent with faith in the sovereign Christ for me to question his good providence. Paul called covetousness “idolatry” and said, “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content” (Phil. 4:11). Let us pray for submission to his will, for with it comes peace.
