Suffering

I wanted to blogg what I read in my BSF notes that amazingly hit home and it may with some of you others out there. Read Job 1-2. Job's suffering lay in the invisible world. Job's suffering was for the glory of God and the strengthening of Job's own faith.
John 9: Unlike the disciples, Jesus was not as concerned with what caused the suffering as with how to relieve it and how this very sufering may be used to reveal the glory of God's love and power more fully. What a lesson for me! Many times God allows suffering in ur lives in order to awaken our spirits. (See 1 Corinthians 11:30) Also God might today heal many diseases and deliver us from much suffering if we would only definitely come to Him in prayer and faith. (James 5:15-16)
Suffering sometimes allowed so that a special work of God shall be revealed to the world through the suffering.
Believer receives infinite assurance of God's concern for sufferers in that Jesus Christ, God the Son, suffered unspeakably in greater depth than any human has ever experienced.
When a person suffers yet has the courage to endure without murmuring against God, the strength of faith in God manifests a particular glory of God that many of us know nothing about.!!! Wow, I want to endure and trust in my suffering! I don't want to Grumble any more but believe and TRUST!
