We may not like our circumstances, but we don’t have the same overview that God has. He’s right there with us no matter where we are, and we are sometimes amazed to find that the circumstances that we have been complaining about have a purpose we could never have imaged.
Philippians 1:12-14 (New Living Translation)
And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News. For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ. And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.
