Just a Thought...

No matter the trial, tribulation or testing that we all find ourselves going through from time to time. We know there may be a myriad of different reasons.
Some may be a consequence of disobedience; some are an attack of the enemy and some are just a result of it raining on the just and the unjust (that’s life, as difficult as it seems).
But none came without God’s knowledge or permission.
All have a divine purpose and reason.
If we are lost, it may be to bring us to the Salvation of Jesus Christ.
If we are in a back-slidden condition, its purpose may be to bring us to repentance.
If we are living for Him, it may be for us to increase our commitment and become more rooted and grounded in Him through faith.
Then again, we may never know the reason yet continue to find our strength and solace in Him through faith.
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:3-5).”
