There is no one who understands like God does. He knows exactly what we need for the present and what lies ahead. Sometimes we question His actions because of the pain we feel.
The Apostle Paul didn’t do that when pain entered his life. He knew exactly what God had to do to get him back on track. His temptation came not from knowing too little but from knowing too much. He admitted it. Pride needs to be tempered.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
We all have some serious deficits and sometimes they can only be corrected by pain.
Give it some thought.
