Life is a series of Problems...

I really always found it difficult to justify myself bout the presence of God. Just read this article.


We all face problems in out lives but the question is how do you deal with them and what steps do you take? Are you scared of problems?

Ever wondered who creates these problems and what is the intention? You may say your boss creates problem for you at work. But does it happen that way? May be your boss is just another medium thru which the problem is put in front of you and you have to solve the damn problem.Thats it.

The problem you face will either defeat you or develop you—depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather then pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

Lets see how God comes into picture and how he creates problems at different stages of our life.

God uses problem to DIRECT you

Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention?

God uses problem to INSPECT you

People are like tea bags…. If you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God ever tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you?

God uses problems to CORRECT you

Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something… health,money,love, a relationship… by losing it.

God uses problems to PROTECT you

A problem can be a blessing in diguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem – but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management’s actions were eventually discovered.

God uses problems to PERFECT you

Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things your’re going to take with you into eternity.

Here’s the point: God is at work in your life – even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it’s much easier and profitable when you do.



Must be true...
