Struggling with "WHY"

Are you among the many who ponder one of life's biggest questions? Why do bad things happen to good people? Author Alistair Huong has thoughtfully assembled seven amazing answers to this question. Framed in his own near-death crisis, he opens the door on spiritual growth for both himself as well as others.

1. God allows bad things to happen to His people to reveal his goodness and mercy
2. God allows bad things to happen to His people to teach us to pray
3. God allows bad things to happen to His people for the benefit of others
4. God allows bad things to happen to His people to demonstrate His power
5. God allows bad things to happen to His people to reveal our characters
6. God allows bad things to happen to His people to develop our characters
7. God allows bad things to happen to His people for His own sovereign purposes

The bottom line is that God permits our trials to refine us. He desires for us to emerge into His glorious light.

The fact that we are called upon to endure trial shows that the Lord Jesus sees in us something precious which He desires to develop. If He saw in us nothing whereby He might glorify His name, He would not spend time in refining us. He does not cast worthless stones into His furnace. It is valuable ore that He refines. "The Ministry of Healing, 471

Will you choose to trust Him, even in the suffering of this life?
