Work hard and suffer much in order that people will believe,for our hope is in the living God who dies for all. -Billy Graham -1 Timothy 4:9-10
Our life has its beginning in suffering. Life’s span ismarked by pain and tragedy, and our lives terminate with the enemy calleddeath. The person who expects to escape the pangs of suffering anddisappointment simply has no knowledge of the Bible, of history or of life. Themaster musician knows that suffering precedes glory and acclaim. He knows thehours, days, months of graveling practice and self-sacrifice that precede theone hour of perfect rendition when his mastership is applauded. Yes, there areclouds of suffering for each one of us, but God says, “I come to you in thethick dark cloud of suffering,” by faith you can see His blessed face in thestorm. God has his plan and purpose in all suffering.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to remember that none of mysuffering is in vain. Through it teach me more of your love and comfort and useme to bring others to you. Amen
