SUFFERING – WHY?

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me (Psalm 23:4)
Have you experienced a time when everything was going just right and then for no apparent reason everything went wrong? Whenever misfortune strikes, the questions usually asked is: “Why did God let this happen to me?”
The Bible gives us insight into suffering. Sometimes God allows us to suffer so we can down and take stock of our lives. It maybe that you are now walking through an hour of darkness so that you will find God’s Son as the light of your life. Jesus knew what it meant to suffer he experienced physical pain, the loneliness of being forsaken by his friends, and the agony of facing death. While it is true He lived a sinless life. He was still human and can understand your hurts. The Bible says, “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (Nahum 1:7)”. Have you made the wonderful discovery of taking refuge in the LORD and trusting HIM when trouble knocks at your door?
Do not hesitate to Him for grace and strength.
