"Here’s the thing, say Shug. The thing I believe. God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don’t know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks, I think. Sorrow, lord. Feeling like shit." Chapter 73

Summary


 
Shug says that in order to find God inside, most people need to experience trouble.  In the Grapes of Wrath, the Joads had to endure a lot of adversity.  They had to travel to California and try to find work and food while staying unified.  They became more holy as the book progressed.
