Why God Allows Us to Have Problems
john 16:33
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel.
I am moved by what I believe.
I believe the WORD of God!
The victory is mine!
I have it now!
I can see it through the eyes of my faith!
Everybody has problems.
As someone has said, "Everyone has a problem, is a problem, or lives with a problem."
Our problems vary by type and severity.
There are financial problems, health problems, and relationship problems, as well as problems of guilt, depression, temptation, failure, stress, burnout, etc.
We as believer’s are not exempt from painful problems and often have more problems than non-Christians because the Evil One tries to derail our spiritual lives.
The Greek word translated tribulation (thlipsis, th-lip'-sis) means "pressing or pressure that burdens our spirits."
It refers to severe affliction or anguish.
In other words, Jesus said, "In this world we will have 'big-time' problems."
In , Paul writes about all kinds of problems: tribulation... distress... persecution... famine... nakedness... peril... sword and death
Then, what does look at what he say’s in

If we are more than conquerors, we will make our enemies our friends.
Therefore, God can cause even our worst problems to be our friends if we let Him make good come from them

How does He do turn our problems into good?
In at least four ways.
He uses problems to direct us, inspect us, correct us, and perfect us.
1. Direct Us
Oxford scholar C. S. Lewis wrote: "God whispers to us in our pleasure but shouts to us in our pain."
God uses problems to get us back on track or to keep us on course.
Toughest Problems.
God often uses problems to direct us—to keep us on track spiritually.
2 CorThe apostle Paul writes of God allowing him to have a thorn in the flesh to keep him from becoming exalted above measure because of his abundance of the revelations ().
Paul doesn't say what the thorn was, but whatever it was, it was chronic and severe.
Paul prayed three times for God to take the thorn away.
Many scholars believe Paul's thorn in the flesh was failing eyesight.
This is likely because what does Paul write in ?

The apostle Paul writes of God allowing him to have a thorn in the flesh to keep him from becoming exalted above measure because of his abundance of the revelations .
Paul doesn't say what the thorn was, but whatever it was, it was chronic and severe.
Paul prayed three times for God to take the thorn away.
Many scholars believe Paul's thorn in the flesh was failing eyesight.
Other scholars believe Paul was often weak and sickly because he may have contracted malaria on one of his missionary journeys.
Still others believe Paul's thorn was severe headaches, perhaps migraines.
I think God didn't want Paul to tell us what his problem was, because if we had the same problem, we would be tempted to say, "I'm suffering just like Paul."
We don't know what Paul's thorn in the flesh was, but we do know how God answered his prayer.
What was God's answer to Paul's request ()?

God often uses problems to direct us away from sin.
It can be to direct us away from someone who may be a temptation or to direct us away from a bad decision.
On a regular basis, we should pray in regard to our problems

2. Inspect Us
Here is something I read "Christians are like teabags.
You don't know what's in them until they get in some hot water."
Problems are really just tests to reveal what kinds of Christians we really are and to prepare us for heaven.
Peter writes we are going to have manifold temptations ().
The word translated temptations (peirosmos, pie-ros-mos') means "putting to the test."
Then, what does he tell us is the purpose for our problems in ?

Peter compares the testing of our faith through problems to the refining of gold in his day.
As gold is heated, impurities float to the surface and can be skimmed off, leaving only pure gold.
In the same way, the heat of problems in our lives causes our impurities and defects to come to the surface.
The Bible says the heart is deceitful above all things (), so we may not even recognize our own impurities when they surface.
Therefore, when we have problems, we need to pray the prayer found in .
Personalize and write it below:

The Bible says the heart is deceitful above all things , so we may not even recognize our own impurities when they surface.
God is our spiritual Goldsmith who, through all kinds of trials, brings our sins and spiritual weaknesses to the surface so we can confess them and let Him skim them out of our lives.
3. Correct Us
We all sometimes get off course and act like the prophet Jonah, whom God tells to go to Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, and preach to the people about their wickedness
.
Nineveh is to the east, but Jonah gets on a ship and sails west—the opposite direction of God's purpose for his life.
During Jonah's Mediterranean cruise the Lord sends a mighty storm that threatens to wreck the ship (1:4).
