But God cannot be frustrated. He will carry on to completion that which He has begun. As Bonar also wrote, “God’s treatment must succeed. It cannot miscarry or be frustrated even in its most arduous efforts, even in reference to its minutest objects. It is the mighty power of God that is at work within us and upon us, and this is our consolation. . . . All is love, all is wisdom, and all is faithfulness, yet all is also power.”[2] That God cannot fail in His purpose for adversity in our lives, that He will accomplish that which He intends, is a great encouragement to me.
