Hey Balanced Life Family,
Suffering is a part of life. Whether you’re a saint or sinner, rich or poor you’ll do some suffering in life. It isn’t fun. Most people really don’t want to go through suffering. Some people think that when you give your life to Christ and become a Christian, your suffering is over. That’s not true. The fruit of the Spirit is listed in Galatians 5:22 and longsuffering is the forth one on the list. “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering …”
The way you suffer depends on your relationship with God. Without God you’ll suffer needlessly. Christians go through some hard times. We have problems and we face trouble. The good news is that we don’t have to go through these difficulties alone, which makes the suffering so much easier. We’ve got God on our side. “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5 Those are words that give us assurance that we can count on.
Life will present us with various problems and difficulties. We may have problems with family, finances, relationships, health, jobs, or something else. Whatever the problem, we don’t have to lose sleep and stress out suffering needlessly. God will never put more on us than we can bear. We do what we can and turn the rest over to God in faith believing that he will work things out.
God never fails. There’s no sickness that he can’t heal. There’s no need that he can’t fulfill. There’s no problem he can’t solve. He does it all! Don’t suffer needlessly. Trust God to work things out.
