Why we must go through suffering.

We must suffer at times or experience pain. People react as why does God not like me or why is he angry with me, I have been there. If you are close with God and suffering from a trouble it is because he does Love you. When forming the clay and finishing a vessel it has to be put to fire, if not it remains soft and easily crushed. Or when something is being formed on an anvil it must be put to fire and hammered out. Soldiers in boot camp are not given luxury or comfort, they learn how to survive through hostile and harsh conditions. If you are caught in trials or Spiritual Warfare you learn to overcome with the tools and wisdom the Lord has given you. Trials bring wisdom and they awaken and motivate you to seek wisdom through God in overcoming your obstacle. When you overcome a warfare or trial you have gained experience and carry more confidence you have the knowledge and understanding of how to approach similar situations in the future.
Amen Brother Keith :) God knows exactly what He is doing. You wouldn't send your troops out in snuggies with Nerf balls as weapons. As God would not put his Children among beasts without Armor (Love and Faith) a Shield and a Sword (God's Truth and God's Word) and the wisdom to wield them. God Bless you, God inspired your journal post which also inspired this post. I guess todays lesson is trials:)

Amen Brother Isaac... our trials also help us to be able to understand others better in their struggles, we can then come alongside them and help from our own experiences and how God brought us through... God knows what He's doing Amen?! "When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, my brothers, don’t resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realize that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance. But let the process go on until that endurance is fully developed, and you will find you have become men of mature character, men of integrity with no weak spots". James l:2-4 (J.B. Phillips Paraphrase)
