God's will reign regardless of whether you eat the chocolate cakes, it is Christ in you that leads to righteousness He is the one that helps you obey, you do not do anything to become righteousness.
God is not do Pavlovian studies on mankind (training a dog to salivate when a bell is rung, instead of when food is shown, because he learned a bell=food. , if he then did all the people in the world over the ages who are suffering or who suffered would have responded and become believers. Most are praying to God but for their will not His.
The tribulations are given so that through Christ you learn to listen to the Will of God regardless of the circumstances. It is during the times of darkness that your strength is increased.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
2Co 13:4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
2Co 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Finally it is the Spirit of Christ Our Comforter now that will get you through the hard place ...He is our example and model.
Mat 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Christ prayed this before not during his tribulation. He prayed and commuted with the father daily before he went out and did His Fathers Will. This was His penultimate (next to the last chapter of a book) act before He prayed .......
It is Finished.
The church and the unbelievers will not learn righteousness until they are given eyes to see and ears to hear. Then they can will see that God is totally sovereign and they will be tested also.
Beloved
