Why God gave us problems!

The problems that you face, will either defeat you or develop you, depending on how, you respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see, as to how God wants to use problems, for good causes, in their respective lives. They react foolishly, and resent their problems, rather than pausing to consider, as to what benefits, they might bring.

Here are five ways, that 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 new directions, and motivate us, to change. Is God trying, to get your attention? Sometimes it takes a painful situation to change our ways.

2. GOD USES THEM TO INSPECT YOU 

People, are like tea bags. If you want to know, as to what is inside them, just drop them, into hot 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."

3. GOD USES THEM TO PERFECT YOU 

Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders.
God, is far more interested in your character, than in your comfort.
Your relationship with God, and your character, are the only two things that you are going to take with you, into eternity.

"We can rejoice, when we run into problems. They help us learn, to be patient. Patience, develops strength of character, in us; and helps us trust God more, each time that we use it, until finally our hope and faith, are strong and steady."
God, is at work in your life, even when you do not recognize it, or understand it. But it is much easier and more profitable, when you cooperate, with Him.
