Subject: Rejoice in Suffering! |
Bible Note: This is a great post Tim! I would like to add to it if I may. Some times we suffer without the understanding of why. It seems so out of place when we see such disasters taking place with in our lives. The loss of loved ones as well as other tragic events. We have to stop and realize that God's object with us is conformation. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son,. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. One of our big problems is that we can't see the big picture as God does. His ways are above our ways. Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Now knowing that He has only the best for us, and that is to make us like His son Jesus, all that we suffer is within the scope of God's plan. There are no surprises to God. When something bad happens to us God doesn't say WOW, I didn't know that was going to happen! We just have to trust Him and all that He does for us, even though not all things are good. They are still within the scope of God's design and He culminates even the bad thing, to work together for the overall good. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The word good is from the Greek (AGATHOS) and it means good of an intrinsic value. It is the same as gold. All the shapes that gold can be formed into are not good but it still worth X amount of dollars per ounce when melted down. The suffering that we go through in life is not good from our viewpoint, but being able to understand it is the key. This is found in the first part of Rom. 8:28 and (we Know) (OIDAMEN) this is in the indicative mood, perfect tense, active voice, 1st person plu. Which says in effect, the indicative mood, is the mood of reality or certainty. The perfect tense, is completed action with finished results in the present time. Active voice, means that the subjects produces the action. I.e. We have to know with out a shadow of doubt that God is still controlling things in our lives and have complete trust in the results even though it doesn't look good to us. It must be settled in our minds! This trust must be the same as the trust that we place in the Lord for our salvation. For we walk by faith not by sight and the path isn't always smooth; there are rocks and ditches that cause problems. Paul tells us that we are to be thankful for all things. 1 Thes. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. I hope that I haven't confused anyone with this. CDBJ |
