Suffering Removes Shallowness: Seeing God’s Goodness in the Midst of Your Pain


Listen Later

Guests: Bruce and Chris Curran

 

Above all else, guard your heart, for from it comes the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23

 

You can tell the condition of a marriage by watching/listening to the wife.

 

Suffering removes shallowness. If you want to go deep with God, you’re going to have to go through difficult times. Tough times produce dependent people - people willing to lean not on their own understanding, but in all their ways they learn to submit to God and trust His goodness and plans - see Proverbs 3:5.

 

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 Maybe some of the difficult things you’re going through are going to be used by God for a greater purpose - His purpose - not only in your life, but in the lives of others, to expand the Kingdom of heaven!

 

Some trust in chariots and some in horses [and some in doctors], but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7 Who will you put your trust in - your business, your health, your education, your past accomplishments…or will you put your trust in the One who created the heavens and the earth and holds all things in His hands?

 

As they get older, Bruce and Chris have learned to care about “less and less” - God is concerned about people - what are your primary concerns? And sometimes you have to “go 30 miles in” before you see it - you have to go deeper.
