Suffering In The Presence Of A Divine Relationship
"If we didn't choose Grace, we shouldn't choose our sufferings either. Yet believe that if we share in His sufferings, we will also share in His glory." - Pastor Vincent No one in suffering like the situation they are in, often we ask, "God do I deserve all these?" Why is there pain and suffering? Because of the presence of sin and evil, and the purpose of Satan is to inflict a sense of abandonment in God's children, and make us misunderstand the love of God. Like Job, our misery in suffering can be so overwhelming that we intensely protest against God, only to affirm the forsaken feeling even more and become an easier prey for Satan. And yet, what Satan meant for evil God use it for the good of His children, so that they will come to know He is the Giver of grace, righteousness, love and hope. Spiritual battle is indeed fighting against the voices of untruth and abandonment through the promise of God.

Now, Choose Life Over Death
Truly, there are two ways put before us when the Gospel is presented to us. There is simply no sitting on the fence. When the Gospel truth comes to us, our heart will virtually choose something, for the better or for worse. Either we yield our sovereignty to God (from the Gospel we have heard), or we continue to hold on to our own sovereignty. Or either we subconsciously yield our will to obey His revealed will or we turn away from it. Even if we remain indifferent, that is already a choice. So the Gospel is of life and death, blessings and curses. So choose life over death each time you hear His life-giving word.
