God does not shield believers from difficult circumstances, but he examines (or tests) both the righteous and the wicked. For some God’s tests become a refining fire, while for others they become an incinerator for destruction. Don’t ignore or delay the tests and challenges that come your way. Use them for opportunities for you to grow. When you feel like running away - run to God. He will restore justice and goodness on the earth in his good time. (reference Psalm 11:3-7)
