When you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Good morning, my dear friends!

I am glad to greet you on the pages of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”

Today I would like to talk to you about the advantages that are hidden in pain and problems. Pain and problems – they are the things that God uses to spiritually discipline and develop us. We learn obedience through the things we suffer.

«..though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered» (Hebrews, 5: 8).

Gold is purified in high temperatures. Sufferings are ‘high temperature’ that purifies us. Our faith must be like purified gold.

“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job, 23:10).

God uses sufferings to make our faith more precious. The Bible talks about it in 1st Peter (1:6-7):

“In this your greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ”.

Right attitude towards trials – it is when we rejoice before God and hand over our situations to Him. It is vital to grasp that those who desire to live a godly life will suffer, but God knows how to take us through and deliver from any difficult situation. Our part is to love God and be obedient to Him.

Besides it is important to understand that the manner how we go through difficulties affects other people. If our reaction to hard things of life is correct, it helps other people to come to God.

God’s word to you today is: when you go through hardships, trials and pain, learn to praise God in these circumstances!

Till tomorrow!

    Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.
