We've continued through a few more classes since the last post on my current Wednesday AM Bible Study. It continues to keep me thinking, praying and honestly, struggling, through the topic. Suffering brings joy. Suffering brings depth. Suffering brings dependency. Suffering is promised to us. We are promised all through out the New Testament that we will suffer. We are also promised that "He who began a good work in us, will complete it," "I will never leave you or forsake you," "I am your refuge and strength."
What I have concluded, when this suffering comes, God will still be God. God will be there, right there with me. I will grow, be dependent and have joy.
As I fear what suffering that will come my way, I cling to this verse:
Psalms 31:9
"But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.' "
In all things I can trust in the Lord. In suffering, in hard times I can cry out "You are my God!" because He is my God. Isn't that amazing.
Let the learning continue...
