A.B. Simpson emphasizes that God's timing in delivering us from trouble is intentional, as He first seeks to adjust us to our circumstances and teach us valuable lessons. The promise that God will be with us in our troubles serves to remind us that through our struggles, we can learn to be calm and trustful, ultimately leading to our deliverance. Simpson highlights that troubles are not merely obstacles but opportunities for growth and deeper connection with God, who desires to honor us through our trials. He encourages believers to view difficulties as essential for developing a faith that is worthy of praise. In the end, God's presence in our troubles is a testament to His commitment to our spiritual education and well-being.

We often ask the question, "Why didn't God help me sooner?" It is not His order. He must first adjust us to the situation and cause us to learn our lesson from it. His promise is, I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. He first must be with us in the trouble until we grow quiet. Then He will take us out of it. This will not come until we have stopped being restless and fretful about it and have become calm and trustful. Then He will say, "It is enough." God uses trouble to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended to educate us. When their good work is done, a glorious recompense will come to us through them. He does not regard them as difficulties but as opportunities. They have come to give God a greater interest in us and to show how he can deliver us from them. Without difficulties we cannot have a mercy worth praising God for. God is as deep, and long, and high as our little world of circumstances.
