Solutions To Hardships And Sufferings ~ MCGI Topic Review.
Life is full of challenges and when we wake up everyday, we have to understand that there is a fight for everyday. Life is just like survival of the fittest. You see, God doesn’t afflict us without having a reason for it.
God isn’t wicked and He can never derive any joy from making us suffer or putting us in pains.
When things are not good or not going the way you want, it simply means that God is teaching us about patience. As beings, we have to be patient and never lose faith in God while being patient.
Il Thessalonians 1:6-7 says; since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
God said He will afflict those who have afflicted us. That’s why when people are suffering, we may pity them which is normal but may never know the reason for the affliction which they are going through.
Not all affliction comes from God. Sometimes, we may be the ones to unknowingly put ourselves into affliction. There are things that we do that God doesn’t want especially when it affects other people in a bad way.
Lamentations 3:33 says; For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
God wouldn’t punish you without a reason. Even when you sin against God, He may still choose not to punish you and that’s to tell you that God is merciful. God is merciful and lives in abundance of mercy.
If you are going through hardship, it can be due to different things. It may be because he wants you to learn how to be patient or you are reaping a bad fruit which you might have sowed.
