Stepping Stones

God does not want us to look at our troubles as punishment for our sins, because that is usually not His intent or their true purposes. God do allow troubles sometimes, but always to accomplish something good in our life. Even when we bring on those troubles through our own mistakes or sins, God wants us to use them as steppingstones to take us to higher ground. God wants each one to bring us a step closer to Him.

Troubles show us that we are not sufficient in ourselves. They make us realize our need for Him and help us learn to depend on Him. As we trust Him through difficult times, we will grow in faith, we will better understand His Word and wise and loving ways, and we will feel His love and come to know Him in a deeper and more personal way than we ever could otherwise.

One day we will be able to look at troubles and trials and see them as needed steppingstones. We will see then that they were the only way to get us to the special place God had for us, near to His heart.

“In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (Jn.16:33)
