In the Bible, you find that God’s great men had great problems. None of them were exempted.
- Noah had to build an ark on dry land.
- Abraham had no kids till he was an old man.
- Moses killed an Egyptian and went into exile.
- Joseph was sold as a slave and thrown into prison.
- Samuel had rebellious sons.
- David ran away because King Saul wanted to kill him.
- Jeremiah was too young.
- Peter was a coward.
- James and John had a temper problem.
If you look at the Catholic Saints, you find the same thing. St. Francis, St. Ignatius, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. John Bosco… All of them went through enormous suffering.
But through their suffering, they won the victory.
God worked all things for their good–and for the good of everyone. They became a blessing to others precisely because of their suffering.
Behind The Scenes, God Is at Work
Friend, are you suffering right now?
Are you sick?
Do you have emotional pain?
Do you have financial difficulties?
Relationship problems with family?
Work problems?
Believe that God is at work, behind the scenes. He is connecting the “odd” pieces of the jigsaw of your life into a glorious bigger picture. Believe me. He’ll make all things work for your good. Your deepest pain will be your most glorious blessing.
Do not be anxious.
Pray with thanksgiving instead.
For your trial is temporary. It will come to an end.
But his love is permanent. It will last forever.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez
