As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him. 2 Sam 22:31

It is foolish for us to think that we will go through this life without any challenges. Unfortunately many Christians are under the misconception that based on our performance we will not experience difficulty, causing many Christians to have a false sense of who God really is.  Performance has and never will exonerate us from life’s challenges, we are saved by Grace and because of that protected and kept by God. “The word of the Lord is tried,” and being ambassadors of Christ we are living examples of the authenticity of the Word of God based on the goodness and mercy bestowed upon us daily. We will go through challenges, but there is no need for us to fret because God is our “shield whom we can trust and take refuge.”

At some point in our relationship with Christ we have to emphatically believe no matter what “it will always work for our good.”
