Today I would like you to look at the positive side of pain and suffering.\r\n\r\n<strong>Problems\u00a0draw our attention faster than anything else.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nProblems can become a spiritual \u201calarm clock\u201d from God. This is what Job (36:15) points out:\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u201cHe delivers the poor in their affliction, and opens their ears in oppression\u201d.<\/h6>\r\nIn times of prosperity and abundance we hear God as whispering, but in times of pain and suffering we hear Him loud and clear. God has the ability to revive our attention towards His Word and His voice. That is why Solomon says that in times of abundance we should enjoy life, but in times of suffering we should think about our life.\r\n<h6>\u00abIn the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, so that man can find out nothing that will come after him\u00bb\u00a0(Ecclesiastes, 7: 14).<\/h6>\r\n<strong>Problems teach us to trust God.<\/strong>\r\n<h6>\u201cYes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead\u201d\u00a0(2 Corinthians, 1:9).<\/h6>\r\nYou will never understand that God is everything you need, until He becomes everything you have left. The period of problems and hardships is the time when we need to seek God and get closer to Him. May your troubles and difficulties bring you closer to Him.\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPeace be with you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboy","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Problems draw our attention faster than anything else.\r\n\r\nProblems can become a spiritual \u201calarm clock\u201d from God.
