Proverbs provides the needed wisdom

  Greetings:
  The Book of Proverbs is full of a long litany of sins that get us all into trouble – dishonesty, impatience, selfishness, a hot temper, and even running our mouth's too much.
  Proverbs repeatedly tells us that wisdom will keep us out of trouble. We should probably pay attention to that advice.
  Anytime we ignore God’s principles, we eventually suffer the consequences. God has given us the freedom to make our choices, but we are not free to choose the consequences of those choices.
  Remember how David prayed, “I am surrounded by many troubles... My sins have caught up with me.”
  People often blame God for the natural consequences of their poor judgments and choices or they blame the devil for circumstances that were actually planned by God.
  God never tempts us to sin, but he tests our character and faith continually.
  The storms in our life can be a trial, a temptation, a trespass, or a troubling consequence. We must remember that God’s purpose is greater than our problems, our physical pain, our relational strains, our hurts and even our sins.
Becoming like Jesus means serving, sacrificing, and suffering just as He did. The Bible repeatedly tells us that suffering is often the will of God for our lives. In fact, we sometimes suffer more because we are Christians.
  God tells us to consider this a privilege in 2 Timothy 3:12 (The Living Bible). It reads, “Yes, and those who decide to please Christ Jesus by living godly lives will suffer at the hands of those who hate him.”
  Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ is likely to be in for a lot of trouble. There’s no getting around it. I don't know why for some, it is greater than for others, but it is.
  God wants to perfect  us, not pamper us. He always values the spiritual over the material, because that is what will last forever.
  God told Jeremiah, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.(Jeremiah 29:11, The Living Bible).
  If you are facing trouble right now, don’t ask, “Why me, Lord?”
  Instead ask, “What do You want me to learn?”
  Be blessed.
