TOPIC: WHY HE ALLOWS SOME BATTLES – 3
It has been said that the ancients used an interesting instrument called a “TRIBULUM” to beat grain in order to separate the chaff in the grain from the wheat. “Tribulum” is the word from which we get our English word” “Tribulation.” In life, you must never forget what Jesus said in Vs. 33 of today’s scripture: “In the world ye shall have tribulation (troubles): but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” That means no matter how holy, prayerful or good you are, as long as you are in this wicked world, you will have tribulations.
Then 2 Timothy 3:12 says: “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” The reason why God allows some troubles is because, it’s the tribulation in our lives that divides the “chaff” from the “wheat.” The trials and tribulations that come our way can make us bitter or they can make us better. The choice is ours. The important thing is never to waste our pain but to invest it wisely in motivating ourselves to grow and to help encourage others to do the same.
Romans 5:3-5 (NIV) says: “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.” God is working for you! Hold on and hold out!
