Proverbs 10:22 NLT - "The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it." What an interesting concept... God isn't the one bringing sorrow into your life. Could God be nicer than you think?
May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! - Ephesians 1:3 AMP
Here is a spiritual litmus test to see if something is from God: Does the situation or issue you are dealing with bring sorrow or grief?
If it does, (Here is a bold statement) it is not from God. Jesus says himself in John 6:37 that he would never drive away or reject anyone who comes to him. Giving someone sorrow and grief (which is usually associated with pain and sickness) will cause someone to leave. If I inject my best friend with a deadly virus, they won't want to be my friend anymore!
Why is it different for God? "Because He is sovereign and cancer or trials could be His will!"
We need to learn that God does work all things (even bad things) for the good of those who love Him. This doesn't mean those things were sent by God.
God will not violate His Word. If we being merely human know how to give good gifts to our kids, how much better do you think God's gifts are! (Our spiritual Dad)
He is the giver of every perfect gift.
