Many people ask the question: "If God is Good, why is my life so difficult?"
If we look into the Bible and read it with fresh eyes, we will find story after story of struggles, wars, betrayal, dangers, storms, sieges, abandonment, and yes, victory, failures, and hope against all resistence. What's going on here? God rescues, God heals, He strengthens, He comforts, He gives wisdom, reveals secrets, brings justice in the end, and rewards the faithful, but He does not circumvent the going through "Hell and high water (so to speak) to get there.
Every problem is not an object lesson from God, but there is a principle of the Kingdom of God that we must know and this principle is demonstrated right in your own back yard in your fruit trees. "Nature" teaches God's Truth.
