Why can believers trust God to bring them through trials?
Believers can trust God because His grace is sufficient for every trial, and His strength is made perfect in their weakness. Regardless of what God allows them to endure, He promises to carry them through and be with them when they reach the other side.
Les explains that Paul prayed three times for his affliction to depart, but God did not heal him. Instead, God said, 'My grace is sufficient for thee.' That grace carried Paul through his entire ministry—shipwrecks, beatings, hunger, cold, nakedness—and it was always sufficient. Les teaches that believers must rest on this same truth: no matter what God sees fit to take them through, He will take them through it and be with them on the other side. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. This is why God chose not the great, wealthy, or kings of this world, but the commonplace—people who had nothing in their flesh to offer.
