It is not a matter of "if" but "when" trouble comes our way. God is in control of all of our circumstances, both good and bad.

God gives and He takes away. He desires to use everything to build our character. We must have both trials to overcome and blessings to praise Him to grow in character.

God uses both good and bad to transform us and guide us on our journey. Through every circumstance, God is with us always.

"The Maker of the universe knows every need of man and made provision for that need according to His plan." ~Crane
