With our compass pointed north, we forge forward in the storms of life knowing that God is sovereign over all the situations that we encounter. And we as His children have that special comfort that He is working all things together for our good. We might not have asked for it. Odds are on the surface we don’t like it either. But deep down inside, we cling to the Lord by faith, trusting His invisible hand that is always wise and kind to fulfill His good purposes. That’s why Christians and only Christians can obey the command from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to “give thanks…in everything…for this is God’s will for [us] in Christ Jesus.”
