Warren W. Wiersbe Quote

When circumstances become difficult and you are in the furnace of testing, remain where God has put you until He tells you to move. Faith moves in the direction of peace and hope, but unbelief moves in the direction of restlessness and fear. He that believeth shall not make haste (Isa. 28:16). In times of testing, the important question is not How can I get out of this? but What can I get out of this? (James 1:1–12). God is at work to build your faith. God alone is in control of circumstances. You are safer in a famine in His will than in a palace out of His will. It has well been said, The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Abraham failed the test of circumstances and turned from the will of God.
