Topic:
God's Action In Our Suffering And Adversity
God has two choices in our suffering and adversity. God can either
put His hands on us to fix things or not put His hands on us to fix
things. In either case, our fundamental thoughts, questions, doubts,
beliefs, and certainties must remain no matter what God does or does not
do.
We can ask, "Why doesn't a prayer to Jesus bring me a solution,
a cure, or a fix to my problems?" In answer to that question, the
truth is…Jesus always has compassion on us and He always loves us.
Whether we get a cure or a miracle from Jesus will not change the fact
Jesus loves us. In some hearts and minds, Jesus is made out to be a
person who only acts because we want Him to act or because we think we
can make Him to act. However, Jesus will act only in ways to bring Him
glory, even if bringing Him glory is not to answer our prayers like we
want them answered. The value of a strong and relentless faith in God
comes to us only when we keep believing, keep hoping, and keep trusting
in God despite any action or inaction of God. When Jesus does not heal
us, or fix us, or give us what we ask, it should make no difference to
us or to our faith in Him.
Miraculous fixes, solutions, and cures do not always happen because
the miraculous is not always in God's will. However, our wholeness, our
faithfulness, our righteousness, and our unselfishness in all matters is
a part of God's will for us. It is in God's will that wholeness,
faithfulness, righteousness, and unselfishness always be in your heart
and in the heart of every person on earth.
Most important of all, God's ultimate healing, the healing you find
only in your heavenly home, is within your reach and within the reach of
every person on earth.
In considering God's action in our suffering and adversity, we must
all understand God will not be put to the test. This is one reason why
we do not see automatic healings and miracles at a simple command. After
all, if you really love Him, why would you want to test Him? Healing and
miracles are not a matter of show business. Jesus healed people because
He loved them and had compassion on them, not because He wanted to put
on a show.
