Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Om Sai Ram Reasons why God gives us problems~~~ 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 problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:God Uses Problems To DIRECT U~~~Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving.Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takesa painful situation to make us change our ways."God Uses Problems To INSPECT U~~~People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them,just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience."God Uses Problems To CORRECT U~~~Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something... health, money, a relationship. .. by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws."God Uses Problems To PROTECT U~~~A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you frombeing harmed by something more serious. God Uses Problems To PERFECT U~~~Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders.God is far more interested in your character than your comfort.Your relationship to God and your character are the only twothings you're going to take with you into eternity. "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."Here's the point: God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him. " IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND GODS SILENCE, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HIS WORDS !!!
