Why God allows us to go through situations

It is very easy to get into victim mode when your life appears messed up. We tend to lose confidence, get miserable and then spiral down into a place that you do not want to be in. This place is also very hard to get out of. I know I speak from personal experience. I was doing “well” in life a few years ago, had money, BMW and a nice house with a pool. For a variety of reason this all went pear shaped and I lost everything. The climb back has been tough; however I rejoice everyday as I have more now than I could ever have had, if God did not work in my life. My wife said to me a while ago “why are we going through this?” My reply was” Do you think we would have come to God if we were successful and cruising around the world? The answer to me was very clear. I would not have given God a second thought. So I would have been very rich on earth and been damned to eternal hell!

Now it took me longer than most to wrap my head around how God works. Fact is now I have eternal life and I am subject to his blessings, so I get the best of both worlds. So next time you are feeling like God has deserted you, remember that you have tap into Him, and allow Him to control every aspect of your life, submit to His will. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and everything shall be added unto you according to His riches and glory.
