Greetings:
The Bible tells us that God’s people can perish for having a lack of knowledge. Not having the right kind of knowledge to fully understand why bad things happen to good people, especially to Christians.
This can also cause us to perish in our own personal relationship with the Lord, if we allow it.
What gets many Christians in trouble is not having a full understanding as to why these things have to happen to them in the first place.
Look what it says in James 1:2 (Amplified Bible):
“Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.”
Being joyful in the midst of our trials is difficult to understand. It ranks up there with "in everything give thanks".
The apostle Paul is a perfect example of someone who persevered in a storm of trouble. He literally had to face a life of hell – and that was after he was saved and working full time for the Lord.
We must not have allow our problems and circumstances to steal our joy. We simply have to develop the mindset that we will to learn how walk through the trials by wearing the whole armor of God, in the presence of God and with God's leading.
If we are willing to take the storm clouds head-on like David did with Goliath and like Paul did in prison, we have no idea how many other people we may be able to save, touch, heal, and deliver.
We must keep the faith, keep our eyes on God and keep on praying, no matter what happens.
Be blessed.
