Do the troubles you face seem to be random and meaningless? You may see no purpose to the flat tire, the injury, the loss of a job. For those with no spiritual vision these range from annoyances to calamities to be dealt with and move on. They are present in the life of every person.
Does that mean that an inescapable portion of your life is chaotic and without purpose? My children know that I will not allow them to face difficulties they cannot endure. The way they respond to them determines their meaning. Your difficulties may have no direct benefit, but if you walk through them with me they will yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness.
