Taken from Bible Study Series, “Help For the Troubled Heart”
Week 1
No one in their right mind wants to experience trials and difficulties. If given the choice, most if not all of us, would choose a rather easy and comfortable life. If given that choice, it would be disastrous. Spiritual growth comes through the pains.
That’s one of the reasons God, in His Sovereign plan, leads our lives and uses difficulties to grow us up into maturity. We no longer want to live our lives apart from the wisdom of God! Men like Joseph, Moses, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel would testify to God’s powerful hand in their lives through the trials, not apart from them. There is no way whatsoever any of us will sidestep the pains, problems, sorrows, and sufferings of life.
There you are sitting in front of your computer in pain. You might be holding a phone or an iPad in your hand in so much pain that you’re afraid to tell anyone. Your heart is aching in hurt.
God is able to work in your life right where you are. He is able to get you through it. Yes, just you and God!
