But my faith has not come in, as you suggest, to put 'such interpretation and explanation' upon them, as perhaps I ought to do.

Why has God thus dealt with me?
Why was a double stroke necessary?
Is his dealing with me purely disciplinary?
What are the lessons he would teach me?
How am I to test myself as to whether his purpose in afflicting me has been accomplished?
Or am I not anxiously to inquire concerning the specific lessons, but rather to let him show in due time what he designed?
Such questions multiply without answer." Has not this writer in his own last suggestion stated what should be done by those who are perplexed with questions as to the interpretation of sorrow?
They should not anxiously inquire concerning the specific lessons, but rather let God show in due time what he designed.

No doubt every sorrow has a mission.

It comes to us, as God's messenger, with a message.

If we will welcome it reverently, and be still while it gives its message, no doubt we shall receive some benediction.
Yet we must look at this whole matter carefully and wisely.
