32. The Good News About Suffering


Listen Later

Have difficult seasons made it difficult for you to fully embrace the promises of God?

I used to think that God’s word was hard to understand and believe. But now I realize that those thoughts were not my thoughts because 1 Corinthians 2:16 says I have the mind of Christ, and Jesus would never think that way about His own promises.

The rich abundance of God’s promises doesn’t offend me, it offends the lack in my life.

What if the doubt...the confusion...the distance you’re feeling towards God’s promises is actually just suffering trying desperately to survive?

The good news is that trials and suffering, though they deplete the world, actually produce abundance in the people of God.
