verse of the day

Monday 28 April 2008

There is a purpose. [Romans 8 v28]

Think of Job, a man who suddenly experienced one blow after the other, he was a godly man, the things that happened to him , were real, and severe. To be a follower of Christ does not mean you will not suffer, in various ways, it is the nature of life. God permits suffering to come into His childrens lives,that is a fact,but that suffering is under His control, and has a purpose, read 1Peter1v 6-7, here Peter tells us a number of things about suffering, [1] Trials will show that our faith is genuine. [2] Trials purify, there is a lot of dross in our lives. [3 ]The preciousness of our faith. [4] God will honour our faithfullness. [Father I dont always understand the trials that you permit to come into our lives, but I believe that You love us , help us to hold on to this truth, in Jesus name. Amen]
