(Heb 12:7 NKJV)\u00a0 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?<\/p>\n
Sometimes we have to endure things that aren\u2019t so pleasant. The first thing that comes to our minds is to think of a way out of our trouble. We always seem to want the easy way out.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, though, the easy way isn\u2019t the best way. So many times there are things for us to learn and if we take the easy way out we can\u2019t learn what God wants us to learn.<\/p>\n
Please never make the mistake of thinking that God puts bad things on us. Wickedness and evil come from the enemy of our souls, not from the Creator of our souls.<\/p>\n
But when bad things do come our way, God can use them to bring correction and maturity in our lives\u2026 if we let Him.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re going through something unpleasant right now, be sure to seek God and ask Him what there is for you to learn.<\/p>\n
