Fantastic Friday #725 - Suffering

Suffering

31 For the Lord
will not reject us forever.
32 Even if He causes suffering,
He will show compassion
according to His abundant, faithful love.
33 For He does not enjoy bringing affliction
or suffering on mankind. Lamentations 3:31-33

Do you think the circumstances around you are a result of the world's rejection of God? We can look back at the history of the world and find where God punished people for rejecting him and worshiping other gods. While I don't believe that God is causing suffering to take place now because specific people have rejected Him, I do believe that God allows us to suffer to turn back to Him. There was a scripture my son shared with me this last week that pointed to the fact if we pray and seek His face, and turn from our evil ways, he will heal our land. Maybe we need to start thinking about seeking, turning, and praying to see what God can do. He is mighty and he certainly doesn't like to see us suffer.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
