"It is God and not blind fate, not a fickle "fortune " (or misfortune), Who has placed you in the very situation which you now occupy. He is the one who planned from all eternity the very environment which you are now in.....recognize God's shaping hand in your present lot....humble yourself and be content with what God has appointed, and not chafe and murmur at it, for that is nothing but a species of rebellion against the providential will of God.....the very lot you find so hard to bear only provides a suitable opportunity for you to prove the sufficiency of God's grace."
~ Arthur Pink, “The Doctrine of Sanctification"
