The Bible is quite clear on this topic, actually. In the book of James chapter 1 verse 13 it states, "When under trial, let no one say: 'I am being tried by God.' For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone." This scripture is stating that God is not the One who gives you lemons. If you recall in the book of Job the awful trial he experienced was not at the hands of God, rather it was at the hands of Satan. In Job 2:4-7 Satan challenges God's sovereignty by stating that no human would keep his integrity to God if there wasn't something to be gained at that very moment. God allowed Satan to test his theory out, just as any righteous judge would allow an accuser to testify in a court of law. Satan was the one that inflicted Job with various ailments. Throughout Job's trials, his wife lost her integrity, and his friends said that God was punishing him, but Job never lost sight of his integrity towards the true God Jehovah. Job never looked for another "god" to serve. Job remained faithful, and was ultimately blessed. (Job 42:12-17) Likewise we want to keep in mind today that Satan is the one who is constantly tempting us and giving us lemons. But God blesses those who maintain their integrity, such has his faithful servant, Job.
