Page TWO HE DOESNT HATE YOU! ...... Here are 5 ways God wants to use the problems in your life: God uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways. (Proverbs 20:30) God uses problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags. If you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God ever tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you? When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith and this will give you patience. God use problems to CORRECT you. Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove, but you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something i.e. health, money and a relationship by losing it. It was the best thing that could have happened for it teaches one to pay attention to HIS laws. God use problems to PROTECT you. A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. What Satan intends for harm, God intends it for GOOD! God use problems to PERFECT you. Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character that your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things that you are going to take with you into eternity. We can rejoice when we run into problems. They help us learn to be patient and patience develops our strength of character. It also helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are STRONG and steady. |
