5 Ways God Uses Problems
……
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you – depending on how you respond to them.
.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. .
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
.
1. God uses problems to DIRECT you.
.
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention?
.
Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways. (Read Proverbs 20:30)
.
2. God uses problems to INSPECT you.
.
People are like tea bags…if you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you?
.
When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. (Read James 1:2-3)
.
3. God uses problems to CORRECT you.
Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something…health, money, a relationship… by losing it.
.
It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to Your laws. (Read Psalm 119:71-72)
.
4. God uses problems to PROTECT you.
.
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had

Love In The Home
.
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place, but have
not love, I am a housekeeper – not a homemaker.
.
If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have
not love, my children learn cleanliness – not godliness.
.
Love leaves the dust in search of a child’s laugh.
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
.
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
.
Love is present through the trials.
Love reprimands, reproves,and is responsive.
.
Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child, then

Several times my daughter, Julie, had telephoned to say, “Mom, you must come see the daffodils before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from my place by the beach to her lakeside mountain home.
“I will come next Tuesday,” I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call. The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I got in the car and began the long, tedious drive.
