This is from my evening devotions with Charles Sprugeon scripture from Pslamsno comment by me.

He shall choose our inheritance for us. - Ps 47:4

Believer, if your earthly lot is a humble one, be content with it, for you can trust that it is the best fit for you. Divine wisdom has appointed your situation and chosen for you the safest and best condition.

Imagine a large ship being navigated up a river. In some parts of the stream, there are dangerous sandbanks. If someone asked the captain why he steers the ship through the deeper water, taking a more indirect route, he would reply, “If I didn’t stay in the deep water, I would run aground and never make it to harbor.” In the same way, you might suffer shipwreck if your divine Captain didn’t steer you through the deep waters of affliction, where waves of trouble follow one after another.

Some plants wither in too much sunshine. It could be that you are planted in the shade by the loving Gardener because only in those conditions will you bring forth perfect fruit.

Remember, if any other situation were better for you than the one you’re in, divine love would have placed you there! God has put you in the most suitable circumstances, and if you could choose for yourself, you would eventually cry out, “Lord, choose my inheritance for me, for when I follow my own will, I bring myself much sorrow!”

Be content with what you have, knowing that the Lord has arranged everything for your good. Embrace your daily cross; it’s the burden best suited to your strength and the one that will most effectively shape you into Christlikeness. Quiet your restless self, and put down your impatience. It is not for you to choose, but for the Lord of Love to decide!

“Trials must and will befall—
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all;
This is happiness to me!”
