If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

In the wilderness, God's covenant people struggled with a choice between feeding their bellies and nourishing their souls. God provided manna--a breadlike food that fell to the ground during the night--to sustain the wandering Israelites and to teach them how to value His Word more than physical fulfillment.
It's not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.
God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.
