Our Response When Bad Things Happen


Our Response When Bad Things Happen

1. Know that it is a gift from God. Though We don’t understand, Know that its for God’s good Purpose.

Does all things happen by the will of God? Is God’s ways good in all things? Then bad things are a gift from Him for they fulfil His purpose. Remember the examples of Abraham. Joseph. Job. Paul. Jesus.

2. Joy in suffering.

Joy Because He Knows God Good Purpose and Will is Done Through It

Joy Because The Sufferer is Worthy to Receive the Crown of Life.

James 1:12-13 “A man who endures trials is blessed because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. No one undergoing a trial should say I am being tempted by evil, for God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.”

3. Bear Endurance. Bear Maturity. Bear Hope.

Moulded to be a better man. Gold refined with fire.
