It is a major mistake we often make in our walk with God when we put our faith in an outcome rather than in the Lord. We do this because we set our hearts on a thing rather than on God Himself.
If we trust in the Lord, we also need to trust Him that the outcome of a matter will be what best advances His cause, what will be “His triumph,” not just ours. In many cases, the greatest triumph would be the growth of our faith, which has greater value than any earthly outcome.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
