😇 Shalom to all
God’s word today:
“My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.”
(Psalms 119:71 NLT)
Knowing and enjoying life is like a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you, depending on how you respond to them. How could as the psalmist to have experience goodness even from the difficult circumstances we experience – “My suffering was good for me…”
When most people encounter difficulty, they react impulsively or become resentful. They don’t pause to consider what benefit the problems might bring. As a result, people often never see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives.
There are ways that God uses the problems in life. Let’s learn and grow together so that next time we face difficulty, we can be on the lookout for how God is working.
1. God uses problems to motivate us to change
Problems can point you in a new direction and motivate you to change. Is God trying to get your attention? As Proverbs 20:30 (from Good News Translation-GNT) says, “Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways”
May God’s mercy and grace enable me to change into God’s purpose.
Bless you
