Trouble is not always chastisement. Trouble is an access to open doors. Trouble will open your eyes.
Trouble will tell you who your true friends are. Trouble doesn’t always last. Trouble moves you forward. Storms come into our lives to increase our potential. How we endure a storm determines our destiny. We should not live by discipline but by desire. God is way too wise to make mistakes. God has not promised us a smooth sailing but He did promise us a safe landing.
Speaking from my own personal experience, it is trouble that keeps me on my knees. Praying and asking God to give me strength and power to overcome the fiery darts of the devil.
See (Ephesians 6:11,“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Also Verse 12—For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”)
See I know that it is our prayers that move God, not so much what we need personally but spiritually. See (Ephesians 6:17, “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, wich is the word of God; 18—Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”)
If Jesus went through trouble, trials and temptations so can we, only we have Jesus on our side to help us and to give us the power and authority. (John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, I have come that ye may have life and that ye may have it more abundantly.”)
With all that, God has promised us, how then can we go wrong? We certainly can’t! (John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.” 2— “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.”)
