God in Men’s Pains

Creating scale to measure whose pain is the greatest or who suffers the most is not a rewarding venture. Praying for grace to survive these pains and challenges with testimonies is most rewarding. We can, if we do not think these troubles and challenges are independent of God or greater than Him. When God is allowed, irrespective of their sizes, He will decorate all with wonders. Pains may come in diverse forms: Hunger, lack, rejection, sickness, failure, injustice, disappointment, disgrace, famine, abandonment, hatred, abuse and the like in different degrees in many peoples’ experiences. Life is filled with people who survived these with great testimonies while others succumb to their crushing fist. If only we could understand the mind of God and concede to His wisdom, we will harvest great comfort and confidence.

We need God in our world. His absence would have been the greatest accident. He carefully schemed all with purpose and our problems cannot erase His existence and power. I owe Him all the praises for showing Himself mighty in my own pains, disappointment, scarcity, lack, troubles, challenges, responsibilities, victory, successes and advancement. This is similar to many testimonies of many people.

Gold and precious stones glories need be revealed by furnace. Also, the beauty of a man’s life and testimony is shady without the necessary trials.

And, even when men’s activities have produced these pains, we still have great hope in God’s mercy.
Our scriptural understanding will be realistic and reasonable with the lessons picked up from various challenges, when God is involved. It could be deliverance from theoretical theology. It could be a good way for God to direct, guide, protect, teach, train and promote us. There are varieties of good and great things the Lord can do with categories of pains.
