Our God And Our Father, We Thank You For How You Watch Over Us And Always Bring Us Through. Amen.
The older I get, the more I realize the truth in this statement: “Into each life, some rain must fall.” All of us must face some heartache, some pain, and struggle. It’s a part of this thing we call life. Frederick Douglas said, “Without struggle, there can be no progress.” The Bible in James 1:2-4 says: “My friends [G1] be glad, even if you have a lot of troubles. You know you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything to be completely mature and not lacking in anything.”
So, if trials and tribulations are a part of life, then we need to realize, know, and believe that our HEAVENLY FATHER, OUR CREATOR AND SUSTAINER OF LIFE, OUR GOD OF LOVE, knows all about it. So, if GOD brings you to it, He will surely bring you through it and use it to do three positive things.
First, He will use it to strengthen your faith. Our faith and spiritual growth are developed when we are tested. Strong faith is the main thing that we need to please God. Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
Second, trials and tribulations allow us to be witnesses. They give us a testimony. They give us a word for the LORD. How can you say He is a healer if you have never been sick? How can you say He is a deliverer if you have never been in trouble? Yes, our struggles allow us to convince others that God is real. Yes, He is!
