It is impossible for us to ask this question if the matter of our salvation be not settled. How can I be thinking of what is for Christ’s glory, if I am pondering as to whether He has perfectly saved me?
Job’s heart was not happy in God, and all that came upon him tore his heart to pieces.
Paul was happy in Him, and let all outward things go on as they might, the inward joy in God was not disturbed; nothing took him by surprise.
“Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:17,18.
