The
Problem of Pain & Evil
Pain
is gods megaphone to rouse a deaf dead world

Trust
that God's ultimate purpose for your life is good. Romans
8:28, NIV. "And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been
called according to His purpose."
Problems
are confirmation that we are being prepared for heaven.
II Thessalonians 1:5, TLB.
"This is only one example of the fair, just way
God does things, for He is using your sufferings to make you
ready for His Kingdom."
"
For our light affliction which is but for a moment, works in
us us a far greater eternal glory" II Corinthians
Well
unfortunately it seems that God always loves to show up when
things are getting good. The fact is he pulled me out of the
way because the train would have made a pancake out of me. That's
how our God is. Constantly and patiently saving us (me) from
ourselves. What a Guy!!
Come
on, tell me something useful!
What
we've got to do is take note of another little gem the bible
offeres. "Take care of today as it has enough problems
of its own, and tommorrow will take care of itself" - An
old cliche? well no, -get on with the things you're given (this
is your present calling) and when he thinks your ready (translated:
when you're not dangerous to yourself and everybody else) He'll
call you! Gods' got a loud voice.
