God’s Lessons Always Teach Us Faith

God has a purpose for every trial and situation that you find yourself in, in life. Sometimes we as believers think that because we're saved we shouldn't have to go through some of the hard things that happen to others in life, but this isn't true. (Lam. 3:27) says that, "It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." It's good, to go through hard times early in life, so that when we're older we will be stronger, more mature, and more able to handle trials. Peter also taught us that the lessons of sufferings and trials in life are needed for God to do His perfecting work in us. (1 Peter 5:10) says, "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." God's lessons are not fun, but they teach us by personal experience that in times where we can't, He can. The feeding of the 5,000 was a lesson of divine provision, where God simply spread the little that they had to supply the impossible. The lesson of the storm on the Sea of Galilee was a lesson on the ability of Christ to comfort us when in fear and in distress. They all teach us that God is close at hand and able to handle every trial that we may find ourselves in.
