" 5 Reasons Why God Uses Problems "
( Depending on who's god you are worshipping..)
-The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you -
depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants
to use problems for good in their lives. They react
foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing
to consider what benefit they might bring.
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
1. 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
2. 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 ever water! Has God
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."
James 1:2-3
3. God uses 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...
health, money, a relationship... by losing it.
"It was the best thing that could have happened to me,
for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalm 119:71-72
4. God uses problems to PROTECT you.
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents
you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year
a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical
that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was
a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent
to prison a year later when management's actions were
eventually discovered.
"You intended to harm me, but God
intended it for good... Genesis 50:20
5. God uses problems to PERFECT you.
Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders.
God is far more interested in your character than your comfort.
Your relationship to God and your character are the only two
things you're 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 strength of character
in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until
finally our hope and faith are strong and steady." Romans 5:3-4
Here's the point:
God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it
or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you
cooperate with Him.
"Success can be measured not only in achievements,
but in lessons learned, lives touched and moments
shared along the way"
LIFE IS AN ECHO. What you send out, you get back.
What you give, you receive.
WHEN YOU BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS,
YOU BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOURSELF.
