What is the Point of Problems?

Often I like to start these writings with some thought provoking question but today I want to simply say "I don’t know the answer to question I proposed in the title." There could be a number of possibilities but since God is God He can do what pleases Him.

Things to ponder.

1. C.S. Lewis "God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks to us in our conscience, but He shouts to us in our pain. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
2. God send the rain on the just and unjust (Matt 5:45)
3. Olympians push through the pain of working muscles to come away with the gold medal. Sometimes God pushes through the pain of experiences so that we will be refined. Deut 31:17 17 " Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, ' Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?' NASU
4. James 1:2-4 2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. NASU
5. 1 Peter 1:5-9 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. NASU

In several ways we can see that God works in ways we cannot understand. In Isaiah 55:9 God is telling us "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts." NASU

God doesn’t think like you or me and He is not required to explain Himself.

Realize that God loves you! Seek to obey Him! Trust that even when we don’t understand His desire and perfect will is best!
