A Wisdom Minute..

Topic: God's Action In Our Suffering And Adversity God has two choices in our suffering and adversity. God can either put His hands on us to fix things or not put His hands on us to fix things. In either case, our fundamental thoughts, questions, doubts, beliefs, and certainties must remain fixed, no matter what God does or does not do. We can ask, "Why doesn't a prayer to Jesus bring me a solution, a cure, or a fix to my problems?" In answer to the question, the truth is…Jesus always has compassion on us and He always loves us. Whether we get a cure or a miracle from Jesus will not change the fact Jesus loves us. In some hearts and minds, Jesus is made out to be a person who only acts because we want Him to act or because we think we can make Him to act. However, Jesus will act only in ways to bring Him glory, even if bringing Him glory is not to answer our prayers like we want them answered. The value of a strong and relentless faith in God comes to us only when we keep believing, keep hoping, and keep trusting in God despite any action or inaction of God. When Jesus does not heal us, or fix us, or give us what we ask, it should make no difference to us or to our faith in Him. Miraculous fixes, solutions, and cures do not always happen because the miraculous is not always in God's will. However, our wholeness, our faithfulness, our righteousness, and our unselfishness in all matters is a part of God's will for us. God's will is for wholeness, faithfulness, righteousness, and unselfishness to always be in your heart and in the heart of every person on earth. Most important of all, God's ultimate healing, the healing you find only in your heavenly home, is within your reach and within the reach of every person on earth. In considering God's action in our suffering and adversity, we must all understand God will not be put to the test. God not being put to the test is one reason why we do not see automatic healings and miracles at a simple command. After all, if you really love Him, why would you want to test Him? Healing and miracles are not a matter of show business. Jesus healed people because He loved them and had compassion on them, not because He wanted to put on a show.
