As Lance Watson wrote, ‘Every storm is a school. Every trial is a test. Every experience is an education. Every difficulty is for your development.’

Joyce Meyer writes, As Lance Watson wrote, ‘Every storm is a school. Every trial is a test. Every experience is an education. Every difficulty is for your development.’

Joyce Meyer writes, ‘I finally realised that God was not going to do things my way. He placed people and situations in my life that caused me to want to quit this whole process, and he did not want an argument from me. He only wanted to hear, “Yes, Lord. Your will be done.”
In the midst of your trials you need wisdom. As Eugene Peterson says: ‘Wisdom is not primarily about knowing the truth, although it certainly includes that; it is skill in living.’ James says, ‘If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you’ (v.5).
