Elihu explains God’s purpose

God’s purpose

In the midst of a crisis or trial, we need to understand He often leads us out of our distress softly and gently. We are almost unaware of all that He is doing. He “delivers the afflicted by affliction, “and in the adversity our ears are being opened to understand the faintest whisper of the Lord. You don’t realize that you’re being wooed. You’re silently being drawn out of the jaws of distress—into a spacious place free from restriction or narrowness of vision. There will be no smallness of heart or lack of spiritual food. Your table will be “laden with choice food” or, as one translation says, “abundantly satisfied with the fatness of His house, and He will spread a table before him in the very presence of their enemies” (Psalm 23).
