Suffering is the temporary stay on the people

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

God has a purpose for any suffering.

God uses circumstances to strengthen our character. indeed, it depends more on suffering than on our Bible study to imitate our Christlike character. Because of course you are faced with situations twenty-four hours a day.

No one is immune to disease, or free from the hardships of life. life has many challenges. when you solve one, another problem comes and takes place. Not all of them are great, but they are all useful in the growth process God has for you.

Peter assures us that the problems are the same. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened in to you:

God uses adversity to draw you to Himself. The Bible says, God is near to those who are broken at heart. He will also heal those whose minds are broken and crushed.

Your most intense and positive worship practices are those you have done during your darkest days, when you felt broken and abandoned, when you had no choice, when you were hurt so badly that you turned to God it means you’re back to empty. it is the proper, heartfelt prayer and trust in God that we pray in times of distress.

When life is convenient for us, we can speak and imitate Jesus by knowing him, imitating him, and quoting from his words. But when we go through suffering, we know Jesus. We learn things about God from suffering that we cannot learn otherwise.

God could have saved Joseph from being put in the house, Daniel from being thrown into the lions’ pit, Jeremiah from being taken out of the pit, Paul from being shipwrecked three times, and the young Hebrews from being thrown into the fire, but He did not.

He caused those troubles and all those people drew closer to God through these troubles.

Adversity makes us look to God for reliance, not ourselves. Paul testified to this fact.

We felt as if we had been sentenced to death, so that we might not believe in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. You cannot know that God is all you have.

Because God’s sovereignty controls everything, everything that happens to you by chance is part of God’s good plan for you.
Because all the days of your life were written in God’s book before you were born.

Everything you experience has spiritual benefits for you. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God knows His people deeply, and He has chosen them to be like His children. This Luke is a direct translation from the English Bible, but it differs somewhat from the English translation.

This passage is one of the most misquoted and misunderstood bible passages. He does not say that God will make me want it.

As is well known, this is not correct. Also, he does not say that God will make you have a beautiful end on this earth. This is not true. there are many unhappy endings in the world.

We live in a fallen world. It is only in Heaven that everything is done completely as God wants it to be.

That is why we are told to pray, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. To fully understand, we need to look at it phrase by phrase.

WE KNOW: Our hope in times of suffering does not come from righteous thoughts, good wishes, or natural motives. It depends on the fact that God is in complete control of this desire and loves us.

GOD MAKES ALL THINGS: behind everything there is someone who made it. Your life is not the result of chance. There is someone who planned it.

The story of the thing is its story. God is pulling the ribbons. We make mistakes, but God never makes mistakes. God cannot be wrong. Because he is God.

ALL THINGS: God’s plan for your life includes everything that happens to you. They are your mistakes, your sins and your injuries. It includes debt, illness, divorce risks and the death of your loved ones. God can bring good out of the worst.

CONNECTED: not separately or alone. All the events of your life work together for God’s plan. They are not separate things, they work together in the process of making you like Christ.

To make the cake you use flour, salt, baking powder, sugar and oil. Eaten alone, they do not taste good and are bitter. But they taste so good when made together.

If you offer God the unpleasant things and unpleasant practices in your life, He will use them to prepare something good from them.

FOR GOOD: this does not mean that everything in life is for good. Many of the things that happen in our world are bad and God knows how to bring them out of good. Four women are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

They are Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. Tamar became pregnant by her father. Rahab was a prostitute. Ruth was not of Jewish descent, and she had broken the law by marrying a Jew. Bathsheba committed adultery with David. This led to the death of her husband.

These were not entirely good things, but God brought good things out of these bad things, and Jesus Christ was born of these people. God’s purpose is greater than our problems, sufferings, and sins.

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED:

This promise is made only to the children of God. It is not given to everyone. For those who choose their
own way of walking against God, all things will be evil for them.

ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE : What is that purpose? He is making us like His son. Everything God allows to happen in your life is allowed for that purpose.

HAVE CHRIST LIKE CHARACTERISTICS

We are like ornaments of objects shaped by suffering. Even if one of our molding tools is not enough, God molds us with a stronger tool.

Every adversity is an opportunity to strengthen our journey. the stronger it is, the stronger the breathing muscles and ribs, the stronger the courage and the stronger the strength. Paul said that we also share in suffering so that we do not know how to endure suffering.

Patience brings trial, trial brings hope. What happens in your life spatially has less consequences than what happens inside you. your circumstances are temporary, but your character is eternal.

The Bible often compares the suffering of the fire that a smith uses to remove impurities from the metal. Peter said that even gold that perishes is tested by fire.

A silversmith was asked, How do you know if your silver is refined? he replied, when I see my own image in it, I know it is purified.

When you are tested by suffering, people see the image of Jesus in you. James said, Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

God will take you through the things Jesus went through because He wants you to be like Jesus. That includes loneliness, trials, distress, harassment, abandonment, and many other problems.

The Bible says that Jesus learned obedience through suffering and became perfect in suffering.

Why does God want us to go through what His Son went through? Paul says, if we are children of God, we are heirs of all things.

And we get all these things from God. For if we suffer with Christ, we shall also be glorified together.

RESPONSE TO PROBLEMS AS JESUS ​​RESPONDED

Suffering does not immediately accomplish what God wants. Instead of getting better, many people are filled with bitterness and do not grow. as Jesus replied
you have to answer.

Remember that God’s purpose is good.

God knows what is best for you,
and what you need most is in his mind.

God said to Jeremiah, I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Joseph understood this truth when he said to his brothers who sold him into slavery, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good he did this to save many lives as it is now.

Ezekiel, when his illness was very severe, said similar words, Behold, my affliction is not turned away from me, for thou hast cast all my sins behind thee, and hast delivered my soul from the pit of destruction.

When God refuses to give you rest, remember, He disciplines us to teach us that it is worthwhile to share in His holiness.

It is better to focus on God’s plan than on your problems or distress. Jesus endured the suffering of the cross, so we should follow His example. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the perfecter and finisher of our faith.

This is how Koreten Bum, a sufferer in a Nazi death camp, described the power of attention. if you look at the world, you will be sad. If you listen to your inner self, you will be distressed. But if you look to Christ, you will find peace. Your attention determines your mood.

The secret to endurance is to remember that your suffering is temporary but the results are eternal. Moses endured the hardships of life. Because he has his eyes on his price.

Paul endured his suffering in the same way. he said, This light affliction which we bear for the time being, maketh for us an eternal weight of glory, which is exceeding great.

Don’t think short. Focus on the end result. If we are children of God, we will also be heirs of all things. And we get all these things from God.

If so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of us are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

The Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Notice that God says to thank Him in all circumstances, not for every situation.

God does not expect you to be grateful for evil, sin, suffering, or the difficult consequences of this world. In part, he wants you to thank him for using your problems to accomplish his purpose.

We can also rejoice in knowing that God shares our suffering. We do not worship a God who is distant and separate from us and who stands at a distance and watches us. he enters into our suffering.
