Benefits & Blessings From Trials,Tests, & Sufferr

[Ron]

Sometimes in our walk with God we need to go to a well.
The ultimate well we drink from is Jesus!

We can also go to the well of experience too.

I would like to know what you have gotten from times of Trials,Testing, & Suffering.

What did you get "personally" not just a "stock" answer from the word.


I'll share mine later but for now what can you share from what suffering has
taught you.

Anyone?

I've learned that if I can find a place to get alone with Him, he can take care of whatever burden I carry.

I remember when we were going through a horrendous church split. One night the Lord woke me up and told me to study the word "Praise". I was still a New Convert.

I wrote down the definitions and told the Lord I would study more in the morning. I was so tired.

The next morning every time I would read another definition His Spirit would become stronger.

That night, at church, we had a visiting Evangelist. When he got up to the pulpit he said, "I had another message to preach tonight, but God changed my message 15 minutes before service. I'm now going to preach on Praise."

He went over, in even more detail, all the definitions. It was very awesome.

I'll never forget when he went over "Yadah" = meaning to lift up your hands.

He said, "Pick me up Daddy." Awesome!

So, our victory in all things, as we know, is in our Praise! We Praise Him because we know that He will work all things together for our good!

I have learned that God is true to His Word. He is faithful. and it may seem to take forever to get through a trial but eventually the blessings come.
