BENEFITS HIDDEN IN CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES – PART ONE

Apr 20, 2020 | Devotional | 0 comments

Shalom beloved family of God. Here is the word for today.💒

📖 Psalms 119:71-72 “My troubles turned out all for the best. They forced me to learn from your textbook. Truth from your mouth means more to me than striking it rich in a gold mine.”(Msg)📖

✅God has hidden benefits behind any challenging circumstances that we face in life. These challenges develop our character and draws us closer to God. We face challenges every twenty four hours a day whether small or big, but all are significant in our growth process.
Peter assures us that challenging circumstances are normal , by saying ” Dear friends, don’t be bewildered or surprised when you go through the fiery trials ahead, for is no strange , unusual thing that is going to happen to you” 1peter 4:12[ TLB].

✅No one on this earth is immune to pain or insulated from suffering. Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you – depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use the challenging circumstances for good in their lives. They react ignorantly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

🔷️Here is one of the benefits hidden in the challenging circumstances that God uses for our good.

✍ God uses challenging circumstances to GUIDE AND CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE . Sometimes God lights a fire under us to get us moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? “Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways.” Pr. 20:30 (GN).
✍Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t caring and capable. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.”1 Peter 4:12-13 (Msg) in Jesus Name. AMEN🙏🙏🙏
