Topic: Our God Is The Beacon Of Light And Anchor Of Hope In Times Of Pain, Trials And Despair.
Often We can't understand why we go through distress and trouble? Why some did not settle financially? Why some lost their jobs? Why their loved one is not healed or why a friendship ended prematurely? Why relationships are broken sustaining no peace?
There are some things we only learn through painâand sometimes itâs through the pain of other people.
Itâs wise to learn from our own experiences, but itâs wiser to learn from the experiences of othersâand to let others learn from our pain.
Job 36:15 says, âGod teaches people through suffering and uses distress to open their eyesâ
What does God want you and I to understand about the distress we are going through right now?
We all go through different kinds of trouble. But no matter what our specific pain is, God wants us to learn these three things from it:
First, we learn to DEPEND more on God through our pain. God wants to teach us about himselfâabout his power through our weakness, his love when we feel unlovely, his grace when we feel unforgiven, and his wisdom when we donât know which way to turn. And in the crossroads.
Second, we learn to TRUST and obey Godâs Word when youâre in pain. Itâs easy to trust God when things are going great. Itâs not so easy when things are going bad.
King David said in Psalm 119:67, âBefore I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your wordâ (NIV). Lessons learned through failure and painful mistakes will drive us to claim and trust in Godâs promises. His Word provides hope that he is with us and has not stopped working for us and in us.
Third, we learn through pain that we NEED other people in our lives. If you never had any pain in your life, you wouldnât think you needed anybody. Itâs only in pain that some people admit that they need others to help them. Pain is one of the most powerful reminders that youâre not meant to go through life alone.
If youâre going through pain right now, trust that what God is teaching you will be helpful to others as you pass the lessons on to friends, family, and even future generations.
Can you think of someone who would benefit from the lessons you are learning from your painful experience?
Help us Lord to depend on you rather than anything else and help us to trust you completely and help us to take help by having right fellowship with life minded people who desire to live in the light of Christ.
Gratitude makes you more resistant to stress and increases your happiness and satisfaction. Gratitude shows truly how humble you are, and more or less our Spiritual walk with Christ.
