Psalm 23:3 He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name's sake. Leading us in paths of righteousness is in God's best interest (as well as ours). And for that, if nothing else, we can trust Him to do it. We just need to resist the temptation to try to determine for ourselves what that should look like. Jesus said "Take up your cross and follow me." John TB said "I must decrease so that He might increase." The paths of righteousness will not be easy. And in life stuff will always go wrong. But trusting in HIS will (over our own) will always lead us to green pastures and living waters. And you know you're following HIS will when you're experiencing green pastures and living water DESPITE the storm around you. Ease of life is not an indicator of spirituality. On the contrary, it's generally an indicator of complacency. Not even the unsaved get through life unscathed. Why should we expect to? Don't judge your life by the challenges you face or even the lack thereof. The quality of your life is determined by the blessings God bestows on you. Especially when life is tough.
