Problems, pain, and suffering are complicated things. The troubles we face can affect our health, our finances, and our relationships. They preoccupy you during the day; they cause you to toss and turn at night; and sometimes they can even change the course of your entire life. They bring worry, stress, fear, and
sorrow. What’s worse, you can never know why problems, pain, or suffering are happening! In Scripture, problems, pain, and suffering can come from:
-
- Your own actions
- Someone else’s actions
- The devil and his demons
- Just because you live in this broken and sinful world
- Or even from God Himself.
You just never know WHY!
In the book of Hebrews we are taught to consider ALL of our problems, pain, or suffering as coming from God’s good hand.
