Many times I have seen the saved and unsaved alike question why God would "let" anyone suffer. Right now I am asking Him the same question. I am facing a physical issue that will likely worsen over time. And yes...I will admit...I am afraid. I think because I have only been saved a few short years that I simply haven't grown enough to quite understand it all. But I do believe I am getting there. I also feel that what I am facing is simply God's way of taking me to another level of faith. I believe that in order for us to grow we must have trials in our lives. If everything was peachy all the time we would never learn anything. I did some looking in the bible on suffering. I will share a brief bit of commentary that caught my eye...
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Apparently whatever it is that He wants me to learn He is preparing me for. And when I have the knowledge He wants me to have I will in turn give testimony of it. I don't understand the "why"...I don't have to. All I need to concern myself with is continuing on my journey and being obedient to Christ. Whatever you are dealing with right now...relax...God promises He will never leave or forsake us. I truly believe that He will not. Even when things get their worst...I will look to Him for comfort as I always do.
May God bless you and keep you always...
