Text of excerpt, if available
No, I don't preach that, but I believe he cares for us. And I believe that he makes every single thing work together for our good, even if there's a sickness, which he doesn't take away immediately, he'll make it work for our good Romans eight 28. God makes everything work for our good and the apostle Paul. He had a sickness. We read in second Corinthians 12, a thorn in his flesh. He prayed three times and God said, I'm not going to take it away. There are sicknesses. God doesn't take away. But he says, there's a purpose with it. You've got allows of sickness to remain. It will be with a purpose. And the purpose is Paul. I want to keep you humble. And God used that thorn in Paul's flesh to keep him humble. So God may permit that, but otherwise we believe that God will not allow us to be tested beyond our ability.
