In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes that God is not just a passive observer of our struggles and suffering. He takes action to deliver His people from their hardships. The preacher also highlights the importance of not getting too attached to material possessions, as they can easily be taken away. Instead, our focus should be on the things of the Spirit and God's eternal kingdom. The sermon references the story of Moses and the Israelites in Egypt, where they faced oppression and hardship, but ultimately God delivered them.

H.J. Vine preaches on the story of Joseph and his brothers, highlighting how their fear and lack of peace stemmed from not truly knowing Joseph's character and intentions. Similarly, older believers may struggle when they neglect to deepen their knowledge of the Lord and Savior, leading to unrest in their souls. Just as Joseph assured his brothers of his care and God's greater plan despite their past wrongs, believers are encouraged to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus Christ to experience perfect peace.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes that both God's appointments and permissions are part of His divine will, using examples from Job, Joseph, David, and Jesus to illustrate that even when faced with adversity, it is essential to recognize God's sovereignty. He encourages believers to accept God's will, even when it comes through painful experiences, and to find peace in submission rather than resistance. Meyer reassures those struggling with grief or resentment towards God that it is acceptable to express emotions, but true resignation begins with a willing heart. By repeatedly affirming 'I will Thy will,' one can transition from reluctance to delight in God's plan. Ultimately, Meyer teaches that acceptance of God's will leads to spiritual growth and peace.
