Also many people believe that, if anything happen to them, everything will go wrong. They just have to be there.

They can't take time off. They rush, fret and hurry getting in other people's way. Suddenly you become ill. Your job, business, family and others have to get along without you. Later while worrying about all of the above find out that the Lord guides, directs and sees you through experiences which you thought you could not endure.

It was difficult but a good lesson for you to learn. Such an education is hard on your pride. It makes you humble. It takes something out of you and yet it teaches you that the Lord can get along without you and it makes you realize, you must learn to depend upon Him.

We need the clouds, dark days, storms and rain just as much as we need the sunshine to make us know that the Lord is very much alive and we need Him.

And God who is molding our lives, seeking to make us like and understand Jesus Christ, is the One who knows what is best for us. When we long to do something important, probably spectular, then the Lord places us in a position of inactivity and causes us to learn the lesson of quietness and stillness. That, I believe, is one of the greatest tests of Christian faith.
