Justin Taylor compiled some encouraging quotes from J.I. Packer on how to understand suffering in our lives. Usually I skim through his blog, but today I lingered. Every word from Packer pointed me to the God of all hope and comfort. I needed this today. May you be as encouraged as I was.
He says:
"We may be frankly bewildered at things that happen to us, but God knows
exactly what he is doing, and what he is after, in his handling of our
affairs.
Always, and in everything, he is wise: we shall see that hereafter,
even where we never saw it here. . . .
Meanwhile, we ought not to hesitate to
trust his wisdom, even when he leaves us in the dark."
