I have been struck by the contrast of [the painful exercises] through which Mephibosheth and Job learned the goodness of God and the simple faith and yieldedness of Joseph [as he passed through trials]. I am afraid that many of us are not simple and yielded enough for the Heavenly Potter to have His way with His clay. Thus, we learn our lessons slower and in much pain. God is infinitely able to accomplish His purposes in the lives of His people, for “all things serve His might,” but oh! how much happier for us to yield to Him to willingly “humble [ourselves]... under the mighty hand of God” (1 Peter 5:66Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (1 Peter 5:6)).
