The Problem
What problem exists today God cannot fix? Cancer, AIDS, money, family
strife? Satan has only negative power for us. Tragically, by the way we
negatively think, we mistakenly and tragically think Satan is the one
who has a warehouse full of positive power and great things for us.
Problems come when we experience the love of God and we are still left
suffering or wanting because of what we selfishly want. Is grace
sufficient or do we need more than grace? The biggest problem for many
people today is they don't want grace, they want the latest
techno-gadget, they want liquor, they want drugs, they want sensual
pleasure, or all of the above.
Do we need more than the love of God? No. However, many people today
won't admit they only need the love of God. Do we need God to eliminate
our problems or can we live with them? Well, yes we need to have our
problems gone. However, we can, with God's love and grace, use our
problems for God's glory as we also defeat the influence our problems
have over us.
Do we have to put up with our problems or is the love of God a
problem eliminator? Sometimes the love of God is a problem eliminator
but as long as we have the problem then we need God's power to gain
victory by first using the problem for God's glory. Subsequently, as we
gain victory over our problem, we can live a great life in spite of the
problem. Think about this…if the love of God through Christ is a
problem eliminator then why was not Paul delivered? Paul was not
delivered because sometimes in this life God does not solve the problems
we want solved. We all need to grow up and get used to the idea the love
of God is not always a problem eliminator in this life but the love of
God IS a problem eliminator when we move to our new mansion in the sky.
