THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING (James 1:4)
When we face problems in life that God isn't obviously going to remove, we should be submissive to His will. Peace comes through submission to the will of God. Some problems in life are removed when we have learned our lessons from them. As soon as the Refiner sees His reflection in the molten metal, He turns off the heat. Most of us lack wisdom to view the pressures of life from God's standpoint. We adopt a short-range view, occupying ourselves with the immediate discomfort. We forget that God's unhurried purpose is to enlarge us through pressure (Psalm 4:1).
