Right Where I Should Be

Well we didn't get the rental we were hoping for in Culpeper. My sweet wife—trying to encourage me—forwarded me the following Spurgeon quote from the Girl Talk blog.
 
“Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition. Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances. Be content with such things as you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good.”
— CH Spurgeon
 
And in case you were wondering, the encouragement worked.

Thank you and please thank your wife for me for she encouraged not only you but myself as well and not only that, your wife reminded me of Job who replied to his wife in the midst of perhaps one of the most fiery trials known to man saying: " shall we accept good from God and not accept adversity?" though your situation may not apply to this, it reminds me of mine and Job 2:9 is the answer to mine. See how good our God is? Using diverse methods to remind me of His Sovereign wisdom and gracious goodness.
