I read this in a devotional this morning and it spoke to me...
"Our capacity for knowing God is enlarged when we are brought by Him into circumstances that cause us to exercise our faith. So when difficulties block our path, may we thank God that He is taking time to deal with us. and then may we lean heavily on Him.
-L. B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert, Nov. 3 Devotion
I can say personally that my struggles and trials that I have been through have brought me closer to God and that my capacity for knowing Him has grown through my difficulties. I think it's because in the difficult times, we have to depend on God in a whole new way. We learn more about His goodness, grace and peace.
In the difficulties, we learn more deeply the character of God. Almost the deeper the circumstances, the deeper the knowledge of God.
