Hello Kat
--- Quote ---He controls all the elements that are operating around everybody and everything.

All the elements would include ALL things that God is working together including the circumstances that we navigate through in our daily lives. Rather like the fish in the ocean. It would include people who can influence our inner emotions and ruffle our feathers. It would include our feelings also that often (before we receive the Spirit of Christ )drive our decisions.
It really is quite astounding to contemplate that even people who are in opposition to us, are being controlled by Christ. For me THAT is a most humbling thought! He is controlling us to and is leading us not into temptation but is delivering us from evil as we encounter all levels of evil and experience all types of pain as we learn that God is Sovereign and as you observe for us Kat, all is of God.
Thank you for your contribution and sharing how you perceive these precious truths Kat.

I know that there is no random occurrence testing you and your husband. Betrayal is extremely painful! Broken trust can only be mended with forgiveness holding no grudges or threats of retaliation or hardness of heart. I believe that just as understanding comes only from the Spirit of Christ, so to does forgiveness. If you have forgiven your husband that is well and good. I did the same thing for my late husband but the circumstances that caused me to finally separate from him was that his adultery turned into physical abuse. I suffered terribly from both circumstances. With the Grace of God on my heart, I forgave him and held no grudges towards him and then he was killed in a tragic accident. That too was a circumstance wherein I was lead on a path of deep personal loss and suffering into a much healthier understanding of what a Godly relationship is all about. God pruned much off me during those trials and more than I perhaps even today am aware of having had the need of God to cleanse me from. :)
I pray for Godly Wisdom to steer you and your husband through your circumstances and trials. May His Will be done. I pray He gives to you both His strength and peace to endure the trial that is testing and refining you both.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
