God uses problems to PROTECT you.
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem – but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management’s actions were eventually discovered. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20
Many stories have emerged after the 911 terrorist attack of people who were supposed to be in those crumbling infernos, but were stuck in traffic, left their keys home or suffered car problems. They were having problems that kept them from being there when the towers came down. They all remarked how they would never forget the problem that saved their lives.
Many times problems are in our lives to serve as road signs; warning of danger ahead. Living in the fast lane can cause health problems that say to us, “warning, slow down, danger ahead’. If we fail to heed the signs our problems present to us, then we will find ourselves with increasingly greater problems. relationship could die.
Let look into our problems for God’s signs to us. There are not happening because God hates us, they are there because God so loves us that he gave us his son to save us. We need to analyze our problems so we can heed God’s word and save ourselves. It is God’s desire that we live in the Eden he created for us. But we must do our part also.
Reading signs,
