It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the Gold of Godliness. God has a purpose behind every Problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character, infact, He depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than He depends on our reading the Bible. The Bible is obvious, we face circumstances twenty four hours a day. No one is immune to pain or insulated from suffering, and no one gets to skate through life problem-free. Every time you solve one, another is waiting to take ist place. Not all of them are big, but all are significant in Gods growth process for you. God uses Problems to draw you closer to Himself, The BiBLE Says,,, The Lord is Close to the brokenhearted, He rescues those who are crushed in Spirit. Your most profound and intimate experiences of Worship will likely be in your darkest days- when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you are out of Options, when the pain is great-and you turn to God alone. It is during suffering that we learn to Pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers, coz when we are in pain, we dont have the energy for superficial prayers. God could have kept Joseph out of jail, kept Daniel out of the lions den, kept Jeremiah from being tossed into a slimy pit, kept Paul from being shipwrecked three times, and kept the three Hebrew Young Men from being thrown into the blazing furnace- but He didnt, He let those Problems happen, and every one of those persons was drawn closer to God as a result. Everything that happens to a Child of God is Father-filtered, and He intends to use it for good even when satan and others mean it for bad.According to Romans 8...28, Everything that happens to you has spiritual significance. You will never know that GOD is ALL you Need until GOD is ALL you have Got. For our light and momentary Troubles are achieving for us an Eternal Glory that far outweighs them all. SHALOM
