The word for today is - Why !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Why !

 

Some people are asking why so much pain in this world or in my life? Lets read Job 15:20,The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.Now read this, suffering typically draws us to God and can lead to repentance. This is the most important reason for pain and suffering, although we may not see it now, and many will not agree with this, but its okay. It's clear from testimony that many people who endure suffering cry out to God, help me Lord! You see pain brings us back to Him, in prayer or back to church or reading the Bible again, looking for answers. Only after suffering in the Old Testament individual people turn back to God. This is why so much pain in this world today, some people will not turn back to God. People of the world is walking in darkness, the word tells us to walk by the Spirit of God, that Spirit is light. The word of God says, get understanding,read 1 Peter 4:1-2,Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. Its not our will, but the will of God.The word tells us that we cannot serve two masters. Read Matthew 6:24, No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Did you know that? You have to make a choice, you have a free will. Read Proverbs 14:12, There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.You see Satan is the God of this world. Its in the Bible, read 2 Corinthians 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Also, read John 8:44,Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. You see, unsaved people live in darkness. Read Proverbs 23:5-8, Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. The word of God tells us to seek the kingdom of God first. Read Matthew 6:31-34,Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. You don't have to worry about tomorrow, God has everything. Read Matthew 6: 26-27, Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Not one ! Now read Romans 8:5,For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. So, walk by the Spirit ! The word tells us in Matthew 10:22,And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
