The lesson of tonight's study is that the believer in God (the one who is righteous and wise) must come to understand, by faith, that he and all of his works are in the hand of God for his good. But at the same time the believer should understand that there may be times where his faith will be tested, and he may come into circumstances where he may think that God does not love him, and that he cannot see God's good hand in the providences that he is experiencing.
