Reconciliation requires forgiveness, which requires recognizing God's sovereign control over all circumstances.
The Lord places us in circumstances that display His transformation in our lives.
God's people must trust God's mercy and grace for all necessary provision of life.
God may test us to transform us.
Faithful service must cast a spotlight on our God.
We are responsible for faithful service; God alone controls the results.
Resistance to temptation does not always find immediate reward.
We have no idea what role our life's difficulties may play in God's great redemptive plan, but we can live by faith that God's plan is good.
God's good providential plan often flows through rather than around hatred and hardships.
Neither faithful service nor divine choice ensures acceptance by others.
We can rejoice in God's generous faithfulness.
