F.B. Meyer emphasizes that God often teaches us the good way through affliction, as seen in the biblical account of Elijah, where drought was a means to bring Israel back to God. He suggests that our disappointments and pain may not be acts of wrath but rather expressions of divine love, guiding us away from the futility of idol-worship and towards wisdom. Meyer encourages believers to recognize that God desires to instruct us gently through His Word and Spirit, rather than resorting to severe measures. The sermon calls for self-reflection and a return to God, highlighting the importance of learning from our experiences rather than facing harsh consequences. Ultimately, it is a reminder to seek God's guidance willingly to avoid unnecessary suffering.
