Since…

He has given us all things we need related to life and godliness through the knowledge of Christ (1 Peter 1:3).

He only gives good gifts (James 1:17).

He will withhold no good thing from those living devoted to truth (Psalm 84:11).

Then you can trust…

If He allows it or brings it, you have it for a reason.

If He allows it or brings it, then takes it, you had it for a season.

If you don’t have it now, you don’t need it to bring glory to Him now.

If you need it later, He will provide it.

So remember…

Sometimes it takes a real loss to make room for a real gain in knowing Him, for He is good in His giving…

And good in His taking.
