It is hard to see God's goodness when everything in your life is down and falling apart, but for those who trust and persevere, they will taste the Lord and know He is good.
For awhile we suffer, but God works for the good of everything.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
James 1:12
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
This means tremendous joy to you, even though at present you may be temporarily
harassed by all kinds of trials. This is no accident--it happens to prove
your faith, which is infinitely more valuable than gold, and gold, as you
know, even though it is ultimately perishable, must be purified by fire.
1 Pet 1:6-7
My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it
nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces
endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and
complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:2-4
"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,"
Acts 14:22 (extracted)
