“Our pain and losses are always a test of how much we treasure the all-wise, all-governing God in comparison to what we have lost… God ordains the hard times to see if good times are our god. Do we love bread, or do we love God? Do we treasure God and trust his good purposes in pain, or do we love his gifts more, and get angry when he takes them away?”
