God's Purpose in Your Pain
As I mentioned here last week, " Pain and suffering grab our attention." However, how we respond to the unexpected adversity in our lives affects our time spent in The Furnace of Affliction. God chose us and welcomed us into His family. He has a unique purpose specially designed for you and me. That is why it is essential to stay attuned to his voice, even in the most difficult and painful circumstances. So, as David said in Psalm 119, we need to ask God to give us understanding. Seeking diligently to do His will, and He will answer our call. Don't lose hope. We are not alone and have not been abandoned.
Book Excerpt
The Furnace of Affliction
“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes . . . . With all my heart I will observe Your precepts. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes . . . . Your hands made me and fashioned me. Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments . . . . I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, and in faithfulness You have afflicted me” (Psalm 119:67–69, 71, 73, 75).
When I read these passages for the first time, everything began to come into focus. I had forgotten or ignored all God’s precepts that I had heard and memorized as a child.
