“And sometimes we have more troubles when we become a Christian than we did when we were sinners. Of course, it is written, “Many is the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivereth him from them all.” God promised many afflictions, strange feelings and strange things that would be beyond our understanding, but it’s always done for our good. We just can’t understand it, because if we did, then it would not be of faith to us. We would go with an understanding. But we do it and we have it and we believe by faith His Word, that it’s going to work some good thing for us. If we could grasp that today, on this morning, if we could grasp that all of our troubles … (and there’s none of us immune from them), and if we could realize that those things are for our good!

It is written in one of the scriptures in the Bible, that trials are brought upon us are more precious to us than gold itself, for it is God giving us these trials. After we become His property, our confession and our baptism and our promise to walk in life for Him, then every trial that comes upon us is to perfect us for His glory. It’s to bring us to a place where God can make Himself more real to us than He was before the trial come.” WMB
