Does following the plan of God mean that we will always, only experience good things?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 1–2: The Plan—Redemption

Not at all. We will face adversity and suffering, as well as blessing and prosperity. We will face the same things everyone in life faces. But there will be a difference in our lives. We will know that all things—the good things and the bad things—have a purpose. We will know that everything is working toward an ultimate goal: infinite, final, lasting good.
