"As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
Romans 9:33
This is a good reminder that we are all going to go through trials in our lives. There will be many opportunities to stumble or to be offended, and we may do so... but all of these things will give us experience, and in the end be for our good (D&C 122:7).
It's hard to trust that it is all for our good, especially while we are going through it. I think though that it is something we can learn to trust and have faith in. As we go through hardship, we can learn to trust God and have faith that he will get us through it--and without those trials, we would never learn that sort of faith and reliance on the Lord.
Today, let's believe in God, and trust that he will make a way for us to do as he asks. As we look to him, we will learn more and more, trust more and more, and develop our faith and patience. Hard things aren't always fun, but they help us get us to where we do want to go... as better people, moving closer to God.
