Even Troubles Can Be A Blessing

 

We must understand that EVERYONE HAS TROUBLES.  You do not have the monopoly on troubles.  Material possessions, money, family, friends, good health, etc. do not guarantee a life free of troubles.  And, by the way, being a Christian does not guarantee a trouble-free life.

To the Christian, Jesus said: “In this world you will have tribulations.’  Thankfully, he didn’t end that statement there.  He also said: “...but be of good cheer.  I have overcome the world.”  Paul promised: “All who live a godly life will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12).

No one has a trouble-free life.  However, those who walk by faith, not by sight, have learned to trust God through Jesus Christ to use those troubles for their eventual good.  Not all Christians have learned this lesson.

God uses troubles.  Troubles are often the tools that God uses to make us better people.  Troubles help us not be conceited because they help us learn to look at things from another’s viewpoint.  For instance, a person born rich, who grew up rich in material goods, and now has a good income can never truly understand what it is to be “dirt poor.”  But if you’ve lost nearly everything and had to struggle just to keep food on the table and some sort of roof over your head, then you will have a better understanding of what it is to be poor.

Romans 8:28 says that God uses all things — even troubles — for the good of those who love Him.  Do you have faith enough to believe this?
