DESCRIPTION

A.B. Simpson emphasizes that God's timing in delivering us from trouble
is intentional, as He first seeks to adjust us to our circumstances and
teach us valuable lessons. The promise that God will be with us in our
troubles serves to remind us that through our struggles, we can learn to
be calm and trustful, ultimately leading to our deliverance. Simpson
highlights that troubles are not merely obstacles but opportunities for
growth and deeper connection with God, who desires to honor us through
our trials. He encourages believers to view difficulties as essential
for developing a faith that is worthy of praise. In the end, God's
presence in our troubles is a testament to His commitment to our
spiritual education and well-being.

We often ask the question, "Why didn't God help me sooner?" It is not
His order. He must first adjust us to the situation and cause us to
learn our lesson from it. His promise is, I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honour him. He first must be with us in the
trouble until we grow quiet. Then He will take us out of it. This will
not come until we have stopped being restless and fretful about it and
have become calm and trustful. Then He will say, "It is enough." God
uses trouble to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended
to educate us. When their good work is done, a glorious recompense will
come to us through them.

He does not regard them as difficulties but as opportunities.

They have come to give God a greater interest in us and to show how he
can deliver us from them. Without difficulties we cannot have a mercy
worth praising God for. God is as deep, and long, and high as our little
world of circumstances.
