TRIUMPH. |
|
|
|
Trials and problems are inevitable consequences of life in a fallen world. Believers and non-believers alike suffer |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
because of problems. |
|
|
|
However, the believer can rest assured that trials are God's tools to perfect His life and character in us. |
|
|
The unbeliever is often left only with confusion and despair. |
|
|
As Christians, we understand that there is a purpose behind our suffering. When we remember this, we can better accept its |
|
|
|
significance in our lives. When pain or tragedy enters our life, we can turn our hearts heavenward, and trust in God's all sufficient |
|
|
|
grace. The Scripture reminds us that He will not only see us through our troubles, but He will also glorify Himself through us during the process. |
|
|
|
process. There are four important principles to remember when suffering. |
|
|
|
First. Remember that everyone has problems and difficulties. When you suffer, it does not mean that God has abandoned you. |
|
|
|
Second. All problems are temporary. The time will pass more quickly than you think. Don't give up on God. He will see you through |
|
|
|
Remember, in light of eternity, every problem seems less critical. |
