Pain: One of God's Teachers

Pain can either be our enemy or one of the most amazing teachers, that God has sent us. In between the shock waves that come crashing over our minds God puts into our hands the ability to choose which it will be.


Psalm 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word..


The Bible tells us that it is not about hearing, nor even understanding, but in keeping God's word, that Heaven's lessons are being completed in our lives. There is something so direct and simple in the moments of our suffering, that have the capacity to focus our hearts fully on Jesus Christ. Jesus isn't just haphazardly bringing suffering into our lives to see what we will do. No, He has gone there ahead of us and more fully that we will ever understand taken on himself the suffering and pain of us all.

Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth...


The Son of God is not asking us to suffer for him, no, not at all! He is rather working in us to see if we will enter into His suffering and there find a fellowship that will change us forever. It is in these seemingly dark moments of our lives that He comes with His finger, and writes more of His word on the pages of our hearts. What an amazing plan that God has devised. Paul tells us about it in Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

 So in those nights of grief, or hours of pain, don't miss the opportunity God is giving us to draw up along side of Jesus and allow His words to become an eternal part of us. Let's look up and see a God who loves us. The things we are passing through will one day be less than a vanishing memory in the light of His glory.

Where is Praise Born?

     Psalm 148 begins with a command:Praise the Lord! Then one by one everything in creation is commanded to praise the Lord. The list begins with the angels, next come all the different things of God's creation, then last of all God's own people. Each of us is commanded to praise the Lord, but just where is real praise born?
      We know for certain that there are many people have no desire to praise God. There are many times when man's hate has destroyed even the beauty of God's creation in times of war and it no longer bears the mark of the glory of God. Even some of God's own angels one day chose not to praise God any more. It is such an astonishing thought, that angels, who had never sinned, and who lived in perfect harmony with God, could one day chose to reject God and go their own way.

     Praise given without faith is simply flattery. We really don't believe the words we are saying, but somehow feel obligated to say them;or worse, we hope somehow to manipulate God into doing what we want. There are some who will praise God, like Job did, no matter what their circumstances. They choose even when their friends advise otherwise, to Praise the Lord! Then there are some who will not praise or even thank God, no matter how wonderful their life is. They are like the Babylonian king who went for a walk on the roof of his palace and looking out at His kingdom, his heart began to swell with pride at all he had done. He got so excited that he began to praise himself, yet the words were scarcely out of his mouth before God sent an angel and took everything away, until that king learned that all the glory and praise belongs to God.

     And where is our own heart today? Is praise a fountain that flows up from our faith? We serve a great and amazing God who gave that Babylonian king another chance, He gave King David another chance even after He had sinned. God came to a Jihadist named Saul, who was on a mission to wipe out Christianity, and He changed his life and his name and gave him another opportunity. Jesus came to Peter and met him for breakfast on the beach after, Peter, had publicly denied Jesus. God is an amazing God of hope, and that is why all creation will one day sing praise to His name. Stop and consider, when was the last time that real praise flowed out of your heart to God? God is not only waiting, He is actively involved in our life and working together all things so we can praise Him with true hearts before His eternal throne. Psalm 43:5 ... put your hope in God for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God!
