Thursday, October 2, 2008 ( Problems to God's Promises @ 12:02 AM ) "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 "It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalm 119:71-72 "We can rejoice when we run into problems... they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady." Romans 5:3-4 The Story When bad things happen in our lives, we tend to ask why. There are many purposes for the pain in our past. Our understanding of God's character is broadened, our faith is strengthened, our character is matured, our souls are purified, our vision is clarified, our passions are enflamed, and our hearts are softened. Of course with each of those positive qualities, a negative one could occur. For example, our understanding of God could be skewed, our character compromised, our souls sullied, our vision clouded, our passions extinguished, our hearts hardened. Just as the sun hardens clay and softens wax, we have the choice. We can't change our past, but we can determine the effect it will have on our future to make us bitter or better. Poem to Remember When God wants to drill a man and thrill a man and skill a man, to play the noblest part. When He yearns with all His heart to create so bold a man that the entire world will be amazed. Watch His methods, watch His ways. How He ruthlessly perfects whom He royally elects. How He hammers him and hurts him with mighty blows converts him into trial shapes of clay which only God understands. How He bends but never breaks those whose good He undertakes. How He uses what He chooses and with every purpose fuses him, to act and by every act induces him to try His splendor out. God knows what he's about. by Henry F. Lyte 0 comments |
